Count Her In: Accelerating gender equality through economic empowerment
International Women’s Day 2024
Most Influential Women 2024 Sustainability Awards
Friday 8th March 2024
In celebration of the United Nations International Women’s Day, WASD and its partners across the world are working together to meaningful and self-led women learnership across the world. The International Women’s Day is celebrated across the world to show the remarkable achievements of women to society and world sustainable development.
The conference theme will follow the theme selected by the UN for this year’s celebration “Count Her In: Accelerating Gender Equality Through Economic Empowerment”, recognizing the contribution of women and girls around the world to build a more sustainable future for all. Clearly, women have an untapped potential as a primary mover of greater development across the world and their role is very crucial for increased development, but challenges remain. And so, reforms in economic, social, and political institutions must be made to create an enabling environment for women participation and empowerment.
The conference brings together senior and high level intellectual and practice-based contributors who will help develop a framework for the analysis of the role of women and girls in achieving sustainable inclusive development across the world.
