Innovation through collaboration - How women led startups, blue chip brands and NGOs are breaking down barriers to deliver on SDGs
JOZU for WOMEN INC | WanderSafe Ltd
Session 283
Women-led startups receive less then 2% of the global pool of venture capital yet are vital to the achievement of UN SDGs. This lively session will showcase a real live case study in progress of how startups and NGOs in the ICT can partner together with private sector companies to achieve great things as we set forward to achieve our global goal of 1 Billion Lives By 2025. We invite our partners from CrimeStoppers International and SWAT (Sports World Against Trafficking) League to articulate how we have begun a movement to reduce human trafficking, fight violent crime against women and vulnerable people and empower people to go anywhere better and safer. #1BLivesby2025 #SaferTogether
