Two 'Forums' - 'The Impact of COVID on Women in the Economy' and 'The Impact of Women in Power on COVID' will seize the opportunity to build forward from COVID to debate the shape of our world ahead. Glancing back to the 1995 'Beijing Platform for Action' and forward to Sustainable Development Goals 2030 - join our lively debate as we discuss how to Count Differently, Design Differently' and Lead Differently.

Feminist Movement - Where to now?
No movement has been as important to social progress as the global thirst for women's equality, demonstrated in scattered ways over 2500 years of patriarchal rule. It has come to a head in the 20th century, with increased knowledge and awareness, organization, activism, legislation and education. The worldwide pandemic of COVID-19 has revealed huge deficits in women's status, in Canada and around the world. These forums will examine both the gains, and the challenging unfinished business in achieving true gender equality.
