"The world will only achieve its economic potential when its women are fully empowered to participate in their communities and their economies," write former President of Liberia, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, and DFC’s Vice President of External Affairs and Head of Global Gender Equity Initiatives, Algene Sajery in a recent op-ed.
