The event was attended by representatives from UN Women, the Ibero-American General Secretariat (SEGIB), the Permanent Missions of Colombia and Peru to the UN, and the centers of attention for the day: Rut, a loan officer with the Foundation\u2019s Peruvian institution (Financiera Confianza<\/em><\/a>), and Sandra, an entrepreneur with the Colombian institution (Bancam\u00eda<\/em><\/a>).

Newspapers, televisions, radios and digital platforms from over ten countries have picked up on the news. Scroll down to go through the list.<\/p>\n\"\"\n
