The Empowerment of Women through Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development
International Women’s Day on March 8 provides an important opportunity to focus on the global dialogue around empowering at-risk women and girls, particularly in the developing world, through innovative methods of industrial development. Governments around the world – including Canada’s – have ensured that the betterment of the lives of women and girls is a key priority, and that this is fully integrated into broader approaches to building a sustainable economic future for all.
Join a gathering of leading international experts and thought-leaders who will come together to discuss this fascinating and important issue. Hosted by the Munk School of Global Affairs and moderated by leading Canadian journalist Allison Smith, this event will feature:
Dr. Kai Bethke, Director, External Affairs, United Nations Industrial Development Organization
Dr. Tanjina Mirza, Chief Programs Officer, Plan International Canada
Dr. Rachel Silvey, Richard Charles Lee Director, Asian Institute, Munk School of Global Affairs, University of Toronto
Ms. Kathryn White, President & CEO, United Nations Association In Canada
