Despite the ongoing discussions about Female Empowerment, gender equality in the workplace and society has yet to be achieved. Gender equality would benefit society as a whole, leading to a fairer and more dynamic community where everyone's potential can be fully realized.
What further steps need to be taken in politics, business, and society to ensure that girls and women can rise to the same heights as boys and men? The discussion will focus on exploring successful avenues for Female Empowerment with distinguished guests.
Participants are encouraged to join the discussion. The evening will conclude with a get-together for networking.
