For the past decade, there has been a rise in the number of women doing ground-breaking work in various sectors, and young women are finding themselves at the forefront of this development. With women making up half of the population, you will find them leading in different sectors, from entrepreneurship and philanthropies to government institutions, many of whom are below 40.
“I was chatting with someone who said, it looks like the policy makers, the old people, seem not to care and they are not going to do anything. So as young people we have to boot-strap ourselves and do something because no one is going to do it for us!” Heizal Patricia Nagginda, Environmental and Climate Activist.
