POWERING TOGETHER TO PUSH FORWARD FOR GENDER EQUALITY
In cooperation with
UN Women
Today, the pursuit of gender equality faces unprecedented challenges. As we
approach the halfway mark to the 2030 deadline for the Sustainable
Development Goals, it is disheartening to note that we are still close to 300
years away from reaching gender equality based on the current rate of progress.
The primary objective of this LeadersTalk is to foster a dynamic, interactive
dialogue among thought leaders and experts from various sectors, to identify
strategies and best practices that can reinforce institutions upholding
democracy, human rights, and gender equality. Conversationists will be asked to
share strategies and examples that have been useful or that they see valuable in
responding to these challenges.

PROGRAMME
With seven years left to Agenda 2030, progress towards gender equality has
been mixed. There have been some gains, but also setbacks, especially in recent
years with the pandemic and interconnected climate, energy and financial crisis.
This session will explore the underlying social expectations on gender roles and
norms of masculinities that restrict women's empowerment and identify
approaches and strategies to transform such norms into gender-equitable ones
for the benefit and well-being of all.

COST OF LIVING AND THE WELLBEING ECONOMY
The conversation in this panel will focus on the ever increasing cost of living,
which cannot be ignored. Not only does it reduce everyone’s quality of life, but
it also narrows access to leadership paths for women. Simple, yet very effective,
solutions, such as equal pay, shared parental leave and equal representation can
produce a more virtuous circle, benefitting all of society.

In cooperation with

Democracy is under pressure globally. Technology seems poised to play an
increasing role in protecting democratic societies, whether through bringing
attention to the impact of disinformation on the information ecosystem, the
importance of responsible development of artificial intelligence, the
incorporation of diverse leadership perspectives, or the safeguarding of
democratic processes and institutions. This conversation will blend
multi-stakeholder perspectives, including that of Microsoft’s Democracy Forward
team, the nonprofit sector, journalism and others, to explore this important
topic.

ICELANDIC BUSINESSWOMEN: SUCCESSES AND CHALLENGES
For 14 consecutive years Iceland has placed first on the World Economic Forum
Gender Pay Gap Index as the country that has achieved the greatest successes
in closing the gender gap. In a world where under 10% of Heads of States or
Governments and under 10% of CEOs of the largest companies are women,
Iceland has managed to succeed in having more gender balanced politics.
Iceland has a woman Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and over 40% of
Members of Parliament are women; can the same balance be found within the
business society?
