During Gender Equality Week, the European Parliament will host a series of debates focused on women’s leadership, examining both personal leadership experiences and ways to encourage future generations of women leaders, the Parliament said in a press release.
What Parliament is doing
The activities are organised under the auspices of the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality. According to the Parliament’s brief, the events will centre on discussions about women’s leadership experiences and on strategies for driving change to inspire the next generations of women leaders.
Why it matters
The week-long focus places the spotlight on leadership as a dimension of gender equality. By convening debates specifically on leadership experiences and how to motivate future women leaders, Parliament aims to address both current representation and the pipeline of talent coming through to positions of influence.
What happens next
The press release does not list speakers, specific sessions, dates or other procedural details beyond tasking the Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality with the events. Further information on programme, participants or follow-up initiatives is expected from Parliament in subsequent communications.
