From teens to tech titans, empowering working women

For better jobs for working women, it pays to invest in girls’ education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) and to support women in the workplace.

Trade Compass goes to CERN, the birthplace of the Internet, to look at teens in tech; the University of Geneva, where a brain scientist talks about STEM education for girls; to São Paulo, Brazil, where a young Kenyan woman wins an app competition to connect women in international business; and back to Geneva, to see the power of e-commerce for Syrian displaced women selling fashion to international markets.
