Hey fam! Iceland’s President Halla Tomasdottir touched down in Beijing on Sunday to kick off the Global Leaders’ Meeting on Women 🌟. This summit is all about uniting voices worldwide to drive gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Why it matters: Gender equality means giving everyone—regardless of gender—the same rights, opportunities and respect. From female-led startups in Bangalore to community activists in Manila, young professionals across South Asia and Southeast Asia are watching closely. This meet is a chance to spotlight diverse stories from Colombo to Kuala Lumpur and fuel real change.
What’s on the agenda: Expect dynamic panels on tech inclusion (think coding bootcamps for girls), climate justice (the planet needs all voices), mental health support and pathways to leadership. It’s a space where ideas collide and spark new initiatives.
On the go? No worries 📱. Highlights will be available via livestream and bite-sized updates perfect for your busy metro lifestyle. Whether you’re in Dhaka hustling at a coworking space or winding down in Jakarta, you can tune in and be part of the convo.
Stay tuned for more updates as Halla Tomasdottir and fellow leaders chart a path toward a more equal world. Let’s keep the momentum going! ✨
