HYBRID EVENT
Join us to mark International Women’s Day 2024 with a panel discussion featuring women city leaders from Kansas, Puerto Rico, and Uganda.
 

The rise of women’s leadership in city governments has led to more gender-equitable policies and programs and shifted societal norms about women and girls. However, women remain underrepresented in local governments worldwide, and when they do rise to positions of executive power, they disproportionally face gender-related challenges and threats. How can we address these issues to ensure fair and equal representation and continue our progress around women’s participation in local governments?

Co-sponsored by the Center for Public Leadership and the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School. This event also marks the launch of a set of new teaching cases featuring women leaders by the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative.

Reception and refreshments to follow.
The in-person event is open to all Harvard University ID holders and registration is requested as space is limited.

Those not attending in person can register for a livestream of the event.
