Trust Women - Putting the female factor at the heart of development
HOME
Introduction
Drawing on the global reach and reputation of the International Herald Tribune and the Thomson Reuters Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the world’s biggest news and information provider, Trust Women seeks to empower women to know and defend their rights.
It aims to drive innovation and partnerships by connecting legal expertise with the financial, technological and educational resources that enable women to exercise their rights.
With this unique legal framework, Trust Women reaches across the profit and non-profit division, engaging both women and men, with resources from the legal, financial, government, corporate, and non-profit sectors, who believe women are an equal part of the solution to the world’s most pressing problems.
Trust Women is not your typical conference. It’s for those who demand action, not just talk.
