These key themes...were the focus of...[the] sessions at the International Women’s Day Forum hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Corporate Citizenship Center and the United Nations Office of Partnerships. More than 50 speakers...joined top corporate leaders...to discuss the role of business in women’s empowerment...[Refers to Coca-Cola, Gap, H&M, Intel]
