On 8 December (7:45 EST / 13:45 CEST), UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed together with female CEOs will address Female Business, Government and Civil Society leaders at virtual conference on women entrepreneurs.
The event will bring together the voices of multi-generational leaders from the private and public sectors through dialogue, in order to share, discuss and establish a footprint for collaboration around three key areas:
- Women leading in solidarity for sustainable livelihood and shaping leadership.
- Obstacles and opportunities to breaking through the corporate glass ceiling.
- WOMENpreneurs-challenging the orthodoxies.
