Putting women's rights at the heart of global progress. |
OCTOBER 25 | 8:00 a.m. | In-person & Online |
|
|
Women are differently, and often disproportionately, impacted by global crises like armed conflict and humanitarian emergencies, climate change, and democratic backsliding. Why, then, aren’t their needs more squarely on the policy agenda? Why do inequalities under the law persist?
At Her Power 2023, women’s rights
are the agenda. The event will feature women challenging norms, reforming institutions, and leveraging technology to elevate marginalized voices and reimagine international cooperation. Join us for candid, insightful conversation on the future of women’s rights across sectors. |
