All too often, ambition in a woman is seen as a negative.

Why this matters

Women hold just 5.2% of the CEO positions at S&P 500 Companies.

Only 27 countries have fully closed the gender gap in education.

Only 1 in 23 loan dollars go to women entrepreneurs in the United States.

Closing the wage gap for women would add $28 trillion to global GDP.

Just 7.4% of countries have had women heads of states over the last 50 years.

In the ranking of the 100 highest-paid athletes, there is just one woman.

Join the Tory Burch Foundation’s global movement to change this harmful stigma and show the world that we are stronger, together.
