2nd Virtual Open Roundtable: “Rights, Representation, Resources: Fostering Gender Equality in the 21st century”

Gender equality remains even today more a theoretical declaration than a practical reality.

What are the necessary steps for a meaningful and sustainable equality between men and women in terms of respect for rights, representation in leading groups and equal access, income and treatment?

Distinguished women leaders share their own success story, discuss pathways for a gender-inclusive society and exchange their views on the dynamic emergence of women in the post-pandemic era as equal and influential participants of the business, social and political sphere.

Under the auspices:
