This conference:
Explore sociological, ethical and political perspectives on women’s leadership and the need to reflect particularly on the participation of women in society at all levels.
Examine key issues affecting women through the lens of poverty and violence, and the way in which they perpetuate a culture of exclusion; analyse the obstacles which these issues present to women in accessing leadership and decision-making positions, and explore how the empowerment of women through education, capacity strengthening and access to resources would help to overcome these barriers; explore examples of good practices from Caritas and UNESCO’s experience in the field.
Propose concrete strategies for how the international community can promote a culture of women in leadership, ensure that grassroots experiences and needs are represented at local, regional and global policy and decision-making tables, and work towards sustainable change and the removal of barriers and injustices faced by women in society.
