Targeting Gender Equality / What does it take?
On International Women’s Day, UN Global Compact, BSR and Nikolaj Kunsthal invite you to an action-oriented, cross-sectoral dialogue on gender equality and the true nature of change.
Each year, companies, civil society, governments, and institutions around the globe mark International Women’s Day by reaffirming commitments to invest in, advance, and empower women. At the same time, recognizing that significant gaps remain, International Women’s Day is an important moment to sharpen our focus on how to accelerate women’s progress. Are we experiencing change for the better? What are some of the good practices we can all learn from? What does it take to work with gender equality? And can we inspire each other to act across business, politics, and the arts?
The audience will experience cross-cutting dialogues highlighting the many and still existing challenges of achieving gender equality when experts, politicians, business leaders and an artist take part in the dialogue and contribute with perspectives and stories from their realities.
Be a part of the constructive dialogue on how you as a company, organization, politician, artist or citizen can contribute to ambitious and permanent changes across society.
Because how do we actually make an impact? How do you even begin to change a paradigm? And how do you deal with the counter-pressure?
Get the answers and be inspired to take action on the 8th of March at 9.10-11 in Nikolaj Kunsthal.
