Entrepreneur , philanthropist and women advocate, Melinda Gates, has advocated women independence in financial terms.
The ex-wife of billionaire Bill Gates says a woman who wants to be in control of her future should be in control of her money.
Speaking on a panel anchored by women, she noted in a Facebook post:
“A woman in control of her own money is a woman in control of her future.
“And when women have economic power, it doesn’t just benefit them—it also benefits their families, their communities, and the broader economy. But for women to be able to tap into this power, we need their perspectives in every room where decisions are made.
“I’m grateful to my fellow panelists for elevating this critical topic on a global stage.”
