More Details

Summary:

She Rises Up follows the journeys of three women lifting their communities from poverty through local businesses. Gladys Yupanqui of Peru runs a mini-market and aims to grow. Magatte Wade of Senegal builds a cosmetics company, while Selyna Peiris of Sri Lanka expands her family's textile business. Nearly one-third of countries restrict women's access to work, bank accounts, and property, worsening poverty. These women show the power of local businesses in emerging economies. McKinsey estimates equal economic participation by women could add as much value as the combined economies of China and the U.S., reducing poverty for all.
