INT. SHEROES FORUM - ACCRA 2017

PROGRAM

PANEL DISCUSSION I: Women In Politics: Conversations With Great Political Minds On Female Leadership And Social Transformation
  • According to research, in the past 20 years, women have doubled their global numbers in parliaments, from 11 to 22 percent. Seventeen percent of ministers globally are women; and in 2015 there were 18 women as heads of state or government including the impressive Two-Term President of Liberia. Women’s participation in politics is socially transformative. Yet women face many barriers to their political participation. At current rates of progress, political parity will not be reached until 2080, making equality in politics the highest hurdle women face.
  • How can Women Leaders impact and encourage women’s participation in strategic political positions?
PANEL DISCUSSION II: Female Traditional Rulers And Their Role In Governance
  • What are their roles in political governance?
  • Do we think Female Traditional Rulers marginalised by their communities?
  • What is their representation on the Traditional Council? 
  • What is the role of Culture and Religion in the advancement or hindrance of Women’s Leadership?
