Next week in Munich, young girls will gather from across the world for the eight annual Girls20 Summit. Girls20 is a programme which aims to improve female participation in the workforce. The event takes place this year from June 16-23 alongside the G20 and participants make recommendations to G20 leaders in relation to areas of key economic and societal importance. This year they are focusing on energy and climate change, the digital economy and migration.
