    16: How traditional economics gate keeps access to financial literacy (with Uneesa Zaman)

    “We’re paid less. We go in and out of the workforce. We live longer. We have fewer dollars but more years [of retirement] to pay for.” –Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz Women tend to suffer from longer employment gaps, fewer economic opportunities, a larger domestic load and lower earning potential. One way to tackle this is through equipping women with the knowledge and resources to become financially independent whether it's through landing clients, earning income through the digital economy, up-skilling, investing and/or saving. Zebras Unite hosted a live Re-envision Business conversation to discuss the current economic landscape and the steps needed to move this from concept to reality for women around the world. Uneesa Zaman is an experienced financial literacy facilitator, specialising in the advancement of women's financial education and consulting ethical fintechs globally through her consultancy, Rizq Comms. Uneesa has worked with global organisations, including the World Economic Forum and the UN to increase financial awareness amongst various underserved groups, and has featured in Amaliah, The Times and Financial Times.
