24 February | 9:30 a.m. (New York)
Join us on 24 February at 9:30 a.m. (New York) for Resetting the Narrative: Global Trends and the Power of the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs), the opening session of the Countdown to International Women’s Day learning journey.
As progress on gender equality shows signs of both momentum and backlash, this session sets the foundation for action. Drawing on the latest data from UN and policy experts, we’ll explore what’s actually working, where companies are falling short, and how external pressures—from DEI fatigue to political pushback—are shaping corporate commitment today.
This session will also provide practice guidance on how the Women’s Empowerment Principles (WEPs) can help close priority gender gaps, as a proven framework to help companies navigate uncertainty, strengthen accountability and translate commitments into measurable results across the workplace, marketplace and supply chain.
Live interpretation will be provided in French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Turkish.
Join our alternate session on 24 February at 2 p.m. (Bangkok), or register now to receive a recording after the session concludes.
