Women, Life, Freedom: Women Rising in Revolution
Session Description:
The plight of women is one of the most pressing issues facing society today. On a daily basis, women and girls are faced with issues of oppression, gender apartheid, and inequity. In certain countries, gender inequality and discrimination against women have been legally enshrined with access to fundamental freedoms severely restricted. This panel of women speaks on these issues and explores how women have been at the forefront of revolutions around the world, from leading protest movements to shaping policy agendas and transforming social norms.
