 At Microsoft, we believe that technology plays a crucial role in enabling women to find their passion and place in the world. When women are empowered in society, the result is greater innovation and the advancement of local economies, benefits for the individual as well as the larger community. Today, 40% of the global workforce is made up of women, and nearly half of all new technology products are created by mixed teams of women and men. We'd like to see that number continue to rise. Women should have a strong voice in the design of new programs and technologies and in the way that these solutions impact the lives of women around the world. We've formed strong partnerships with organizations like UN Women and ITU to mobilize and engage young women worldwide to follow their dreams. We've aligned our strategies with the recently announced Sustainable Development Goals in an effort to help end poverty, protect our planet and promote peace and cooperation among peoples. We're using Microsoft technology to ensure better outcomes in women's health and to combat societal issues such as human trafficking. We work to empower women across the globe to pursue their education and create economic opportunities by providing access to technology and the tools needed for success. And we consistently evaluate our programs and organizational priorities to ensure we're making the most impact. We've made it our goal to empower and enable women and girls from the classroom all the way to the boardroom. At Microsoft, we believe that women are the future and that future is now.
