By: GWL Team | Wednesday, 14 June 2023

The Women's Summit will take place on June 27 in Mexico City. Forbes en Espaol is known as the first economic and business information platform targeted at 600 million Spanish-speaking people worldwide.

This event is being promoted as a crucial forum to discuss gender inequality in the area, where there will be around 354.6 million women by 2030, according to data from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Cepal) released by Forbes.

The organization has gathered businesswomen, executives from the public and private sectors, as well as representatives from international organizations and activists who are included in the most recent edition of the "Powerful Women" lists of Forbes Chile, Forbes Colombia, Forbes Peru, Forbes Central America, and the Dominican Republic, in order to highlight how this meeting will take place more than 10 years after Forbes Mexico published the first list of "The 100 Most Powerful Women."

IN SEARCH OF CHANGE

The first Women's Summit has held in Mexico City thanks to the efforts of women who "purposefully analyze the pending issues of gender equality, transform entire industries, challenge the status quo, and innovate in fields historically dominated by men," according to Forbes en Espaol.

Altagracia Gómez, president of the Western Business Promoter Council (PEO), which brings together Mexican businesses like Minsa and Dina, and Cintya Aaos, general manager of Industrias San Miguel, a benchmark business in the food and beverage industries in Peru and Chile, will both attend the meeting.
