"Where do we begin to underscore what a year it has been and the tremendous accomplishments and breakthroughs for women around the world," said Kenetta Bailey, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Clear Channel Outdoor Americas. "In a year that brought us, as a global community, so many challenges and crises, our honored women stepped up at a time when the world needed them most.

A special thanks to The Female Quotient for their continued efforts in making real systems change for women and girls around the world."
