Two years ago, she founded a secret Facebook group called Female IN, or FIN.“FIN is a no-judgment space where more than a million women come to talk about everything from marriage and sex to health issues and work problems.”¨It is helping to end the culture of silence that exists for women in some parts of the world,” Zuckerberg said.He said for the past 10 years, Facebook had been focused on making the world smaller, breaking communication myths.Zuckerberg expressed the willingness of the platform to continue to connect persons, adding that there was the need to do much more by bringing people closer together and build common understanding.“I’m looking forward to meeting more admins like Lola and talking about how we can help them do even more to build community. I’ll share more info on the summit as we get closer, and I’ll stream the event live from my profile later this month,” he further said.
