Improving on Financial Inclusion for Women

Financial inclusion is the access to and usage of financial services such as savings, insurance, payments and access to credit that are necessary for individuals and businesses to thrive. It’s a critical component of economic development, as it enables people to invest in their future, manage risk and weather financial shocks. Despite its importance, millions of people worldwide, particularly women, remain excluded from the financial system.

Access to financial services is a fundamental human right, essential for economic empowerment, independence and ability to break the cycle of poverty. It’s a critical tool for creating opportunities and fostering sustainable development; the absence of which perpetuates gender inequality and hindering economic growth.

By providing access to financial services for women, we can help them break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future for themselves, their families and their communities.
