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.
