In this video, Lucila García, CEO of ClosinGap, explains how the organization has been promoting gender equality in the economy since 2018. She highlights the ClosinGap´s collaboration with companies, governments, and civil society to address health challenges through innovative solutions.
Lucila mentions that they have published 16 reports on the economic impacts of gender inequality, particularly on women’s health. Their research shows that young women are disproportionately affected by mental health issues, costing the Spanish economy 6.8 billion euros annually.
She also discusses their successful work in Spain and plans to expand this model across Europe with a one-million-dollar grant. This expansion aims to prevent long-term economic losses and foster a healthier young female workforce.
Finally, Lucila emphasizes the importance of unlocking the potential of young women and fostering sustainable global economic growth.
