A group of young women from around the world gathered in the city of Toronto, Canada on June 16-18. They were delegates to the first-ever G(irls)20 Summit, that met in advance of the G-20 Economic Summit taking place later. They met to discuss challenges facing girls and women across the globe. The summit focused on the United Nations Millennium Development Goals of ending poverty, improving access to health care, and providing universal primary school education. The girls attended panel discussions related to each of these goals, and at the end of the summit, they were asked to make recommendations on ways in which the Millennium goals can be better achieved. Anna Malinovskaya represented Russia at that Summit. She was chosen out of many candidates who wished to take part in the Summit.Anna is working on a project sponsored by Belinda Stronach Foundation. The results of the project are to be represented at the next Girls20 Summit in France.
