Our next guest is Claire Barnett, Executive Director of UN Women UK. Claire has a masters degree from the University of Oxford examining the history of gender identity and has worked with charities in areas from microfinance in Brazil to justice for survivors of violence in Uganda, and access to social protection for UK youth.

#UNWomen is the only global organisation working to make gender equality a reality at truly every level of society. UN Women's mission is to ensure every woman has an equal right and access to #Safety, #Choice, and a #Voice.

Prior to joining UN Women UK, Claire helped to drive McKinsey's UK office work on diversity and inclusion, including as an author of The Power of Parity, examining the macroeconomic effect of accelerating gender equality on UK GDP and beyond.
