The strategy focuses on breaking down some of the barriers that stand in the way of women to full economic participation - discriminatory policies that perpetuate unequal pay or limit access to credit that women entrepreneurs and innovators need to start and grow businesses; laws that ban women from energy, manufacturing, and other industries in certain countries; attitudes and practices that drive women out of education and out of the labor market.He focused on supporting women and girls in all of their diversity, including the women who most often face the greatest and highest barriers, such as those from marginalized backgrounds, religious minorities, those with disabilities, and LGBTQI people.Regarding strengthening the foundational support - child care, elder care - that allows women to participate equitably in the economy, he said, "COVID-19 forced millions of women around the world to withdraw from the workforce to take on caregiving responsibilities for their families.To do that, we're supporting programs like the World Bank's Invest in Childcare initiative, which will help improve access to quality, affordable child care in low- and middle-income countries around the world."He gave the example of gender equality in the World Bank and said, "World Bank - women have equal legal economic standing with men in 12 countries around the world - 12 countries around the world - including through equal pay and legal protections in the workplace.""
