Miriam Gonzalez Durantez: We still do not have equal opportunities

Is there a difference between equity and equality – and does it matter? In this episode, Matthew Taylor puts the question to Miriam González Durántez, esteemed international trade lawyer and passionate advocate of women's rights and the education of girls. In this International Women’s Day special, Miriam gets candid about equal opportunities, diversity on boards and the economics of care. She also shares two simple ways to effect change, how leaders can move beyond lip service to equity, and why she hopes her viral #ThisLittleGirlIsMe campaign will make a lasting difference.
