Seminar
Opportunities and Gender
- SCI Belgrave Square, 14/15 Belgrave Square, London
The first event, Opportunities and Gender, considers the challenges to achieving gender equality.
What opportunities - for economic security, political & social influence, and personal fulfilment – do women have in 21st Century Latin America?
How much have they progressed since 2000?
What strategies, policies and regulations are needed to deliver equal opportunities?
