Session Topics will include:
Gender Mainstreaming for Leadership and Peace Building
Finding Women’s Public Voice
Freedom and progress are not born from silence. This session is expected to help women around the world tell their stories and share experiences with audiences far beyond their borders. Only by making their voices heard, advocating their causes, and expressing their opinions can women become full participants in society.
Women, Leadership, and Entrepreneurship
Women’s participation and engagement in public affairs could have far reaching impact on reforming public administration including government, parliament, the judiciary, media, business, and nonprofit sectors. Increased representation of women in public institutions and decision-making bodies, and genuine aspirations of women all over the world are pivotal to changing the status of women in all societies. Women now own more than 9 million U.S. firms, but women continue to launch businesses with significantly less capital than men and face more obstacles to raising venture capital funds. What are the roles of private and public sectors in encouraging more women to launch their own businesses?
Engaging Women in Peace and Security Process
Women have potential to influence mainstream policy decisions on peace and security. Often, the society does not represent the views of women in the formal conflict prevention process, reconstruction, and peacebuilding efforts. Participants will learn historical roles of women in peacebuilding as well as future potential for success in conflict prevention, management, and resolution. Panelists will review women’s role in reinvigorating policies and priorities around peace, reconciliation, and family stability.
