Building on key themes of this year’s UN General Assembly, we are delighted to host "Representation Matters," a discussion among leading figures in government and policy on the importance of women's political representation, featuring insights and data from groundbreaking new research by Women Political Leaders, the World Bank’s Women, Business and the Law, and the Oliver Wyman Forum.
A keynote dialogue will feature Monica Geingos and Cherie Blair sharing their personal experiences and perspectives on leadership and ensuring women’s representation. A subsequent panel discussion with Dr. Michelle Harrison, Dr. Isata Mahoi, and other senior leaders will highlight additional perspectives, delve into our research’s key findings, and explore what’s happening across government, business, and society to enhance women’s representation in both political and economic spheres.
This is a unique event that convenes esteemed senior policymakers, influential executives, and thought leaders. Together, we will delve into the transformative impact of representation and how women are shaping and improving policy outcomes — and our world.
