134: Racing Against Time for Gender Equality – Save the Date
November 22 at 5:00 PM – Amapola Online Talk for L’eredità delle donne.
With Barbara Falcomer (Valore D), Flavia Brevi (Fondazione Libellula), Chiara Bacilieri (Lifeed). Moderated by Emilia Blanchetti (Amapola).
134 years: that’s how long the Global Gender Gap Report from the World Economic Forum estimates it will take to reach global gender equality. This daunting number highlights the long road ahead. But rather than resigning ourselves to the wait, it’s urgent to reflect on the strategies, actions, and policies needed to bridge this gap more swiftly. To do so, we must rethink the roles that both women and men will play in driving this cultural shift. On Friday, November 22 at 5:00 PM, as part of the off-schedule program of L’eredità delle donne festival and in the lead-up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, Amapola is hosting an online talk to reflect on the path toward gender equality.
Shortening the Wait
This event will be an opportunity to look beyond the statistics, focusing on concrete solutions and innovative actions needed to build a future of equity and inclusion. With an open, positive, and transformative approach, the discussion will bring together three experts who are tackling the gender equality challenge daily in different contexts: Barbara Falcomer, President of Valore D; Flavia Brevi, Head of Communications at Fondazione Libellula; and Chiara Bacilieri, Head of Research and Innovation at Lifeed.
Moderated by Emilia Blanchetti, head of Amapola’s DEI division, the talk will provide a space to reflect on where we stand today and what is truly needed to speed up change. The discussion will explore how politics, education, businesses, and civil society can help create new spaces and tools to bring gender equality closer. We’ll discuss the major global challenges, as well as the everyday efforts that every company, organization, and individual can contribute to in this race against time.
An inspiring opportunity for anyone who believes the future must be built together, starting today.
