From Margins to Majorities: Women’s Rise to Political Power

Gender equality by 2030? Not even close. We’re looking at the 22nd century before we get there. Why? A critical lack of investment in women’s political power. To address this critical issue, we’re hosting a groundbreaking webinar on October 9, 2024, at 12:00 PM EST / 5:00 PM BST / 6:00 PM SAST / 7:00 PM EAT.

Hosted by Shape History’s Ayesha Gardiner, this session will dive into why boosting women’s representation in politics is essential right now, along with the challenges and strategies for fast-tracking women into political power. 2024 is a game-changing election year for 64 countries (and the EU), impacting nearly half the globe.

The outcomes will shape global politics for years, making our conversation about women’s political leadership more urgent than ever. We must act now—if we don’t, gender parity in leadership could be a century away!

– Suyen Barahona Cuan, Executive Director, Women’s Political Leadership Fund (WPLF)
– Lindiwe Mazibuko, Founder and CEO, Futurelect, Former MP in South Africa
