: WORLD WOMEN ECONOMIC FORUM Strengthening Economic Empowerment for Women: A Blueprint for Success (Under the Distinguished Patronage of YABhg. Datin Paduka Seri Rosmah Mansor, Wife of the Prime Minister of Malaysia) : YAB Dato Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak (invited) Prime Minister of Malaysia 19-20 September 2011 Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa : Statistics show that women perform 2/3 of the worlds work and the fact further reinforces the powerful impact of women in the economy. However, despite covering a large majority of the worlds works, women only earn 10% of the worlds income. Strengthening the economic empowerment for women will further increase their economic opportunities, access to more and better jobs, a business climate that supports them in starting and doing business, a financial sector that gives them access to financial services tailored to their needs, and having greater livelihood security in times of food and fuel crises. This is especially true for women living in rural areas and vulnerable environments. Indeed womens economic empowerment requires bold and sustained action to advance womens opportunities and rights and to ensure that women can participate and be heard.
