Press and Media

Part of GenderSmart’s mission is to shift the narrative around what it means to be a gender lens investor, and use finance as a tool for advancing gender (and other forms of) equity worldwide.

If you’re a journalist or editor working on a feature about gender-smart investing, we’d be delighted to provide a comment or introduce you to the right people. We also have a select number of press passes for GenderSmart programming.
