The Sydney Opera House was built to foster a better and more enlightened community. For 40 years, it has symbolised the inspirational power of art and ideas. There could be no better way to continue that tradition than by helping to empower young women to create a better future for women and girls around the world. We are thrilled to be hosting the G(irls) 20 Summit later this year.
