Education and opportunity should be available to all, regardless of gender. Girls and women who gain access to a quality education, opportunities to advance, and technology that can enhance their lives often experience a rise in socioeconomic standards, improvements in the quality of education and healthcare, and an increase in productivity. More importantly, these women are better equipped to become the next generation of leaders.

Intel recently partnered with Ashoka Changemakers* to launch She Will Innovate: Technology Solutions Enriching the Lives of Girls.

World Pulse* is an action media network that uses interactive media to reach out and connect with women worldwide. In September of 2012, Intel hosted three amazing women who came to the U.S. for the first time to share their stories. These grassroots leaders revealed how they are using the power of new media and technology to change lives and create solutions on the front lines of today’s most pressing issues. To see what they have to say, watch the World Pulse Live webchats and interviews.
