Panel description:

The panel will explore various initiatives being undertaken to engage women in social, economic and political discourse and encourage women’s leadership in different sectors. Build back better means greater representation of women in policy and decision making for sustainable development. It also means building capacity of women to participate and lead with confidence. Our panelists will share their experiences from India, Africa, Philippines, Trinidad and Tobago as well as European and Global initiatives that are mobilising and organising women to reclaim their agency and make a difference.
