This is the fifth episode of the ILO’s Social Finance Podcast on financial inclusion, impact insurance and sustainable investing. The podcast brings you insights from around the world, highlighting how financial services contribute to social and economic development.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the risks faced by women throughout their lifetimes. Lisa Morgan, Technical Specialist at the ILO, speaks with Jane Portas about her work on Risks in Life, the 6 Moments That Matter framework for securing fair financial futures, and Insuring Women’s Futures, a voluntary, public trust program Jane co-founded, hosted by the UK’s Chartered Insurance Institute. They discuss the “6 Moments That Matter” for women’s financial resilience, how insurers can respond and the role of men in women’s financial futures.
