Engaging Women as Leaders to End Poverty on a Livable Planet

Join us at the 68th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women as we discuss how to engage women as leaders to end poverty on a livable planet. Gender equality for all people is a matter of fairness and justice and is also essential for development. Growing evidence shows how removing gender barriers unlocks economic productivity, reduces poverty, deepens social cohesion, and enhances well-being and prosperity for current and future generations. Women’s participation and leadership improves the management of natural resources, strengthens resilience, and makes economies more competitive. The forthcoming World Bank Group Gender Strategy 2024-2030: Accelerate Gender Equality to End Poverty on a Livable Planet charts a path forward for the WBG to innovate, finance, and act collectively with partners to end gender-based violence, build and protect human capital, expand, and enable economic opportunities and engage women as leaders. Adopting laws that strengthen women’s economic rights and opportunities is an essential first step toward inclusive, resilient, and stronger societies. But accelerating gender equality is only possible if laws are adequately implemented and enforced. The Women, Business and the Law 2024 report reveals key legal and policy opportunities in 190 countries to foster an enabling environment for women to thrive. http://wrld.bg/2wjr50QPf06 #genderequality SPEAKERS Anna Bjerde, Managing Director of Operations, The World Bank Mamta Murthi, Vice President for Human Development, World Bank Gary Barker, CEO and co-founder of Promundo-US Isata Mahoi, Minister of Gender and Children’s Affairs for Sierra Leone Silvana Koch-Mehrin, President and Founder of Women Political Leaders Wafa Saed Bani Mustafa, Minister of Social Development, Jordan Lindiwe Zulu, Minister of Social Development, South Africa Aline Alblbol, Youth Delegate, Plan International Kirsi Madi, Deputy Executive Director for Resource Management, Sustainability and Partnerships, UN Women AGENDA 00:00 Introducing the first panel 07:33 Women and decision-making 14:19 Promoting diversity and leadership 18:55 Women and peace-making 29:47 Advancing legal reforms in Jordan 43:02 Introducing the second panel 45:23 Collective leadership in support of gender equality 52:37 Addressing different visions on gender equality 58:27 The role of civil society 1:04:50 Bringing women to leadership positions 1:11:04 Closing remarks ABOUT THE WORLD BANK The World Bank is one of the world’s largest sources of funding and knowledge for low-income countries.
