Launching the Women’s Index
On May 3, 2021, CHIP launched the Women’s Index: Developing a Tool for Aligning Financial Investments with Gender Equity. This report was created in partnership between CHIP and Women of the World Endowment (WoWE), the first 100% mission aligned endowment investing in women.
Ruth Shaber (Tara Health Foundation) and Tea Trumbic (World Bank) joined Kat Rosqueta (CHIP) and Maria Skuratovskaya (WoWE) to discuss the research, the need, and implications of an index to score sovereign debt investments according to support for the five dimensions of women’s lives.
