- Why did you select Amman for the inaugural GTF event?
In 2011 brought a series of social uprisings and political change in the Arab world. This was a turning point for the MENA region and many preconceived ideas have been changing across Politics, Governance, Business, Society. We strongly believe that extensive women’s participation is a necessary imperative for our world and the creation of just societies. GTF focuses on the role of the modern woman, not only in the MENA region but also globally.
