#SheLeads: Strengthening Women Leadership in Policy and Politics | ITTF2020

There is a wide consensus for having more participation by women in the decision making processes of policy and politics. However, we hardly see this translating into action. This panel will discuss how both public and private institutions can overcome traditional barriers that curtail the effective participation of women in policy and politics, why women are underrepresented in leadership positions in academia and policymaking, and what objective, implementing a gender bias, serves for policy and politics.
