Gender Parity in Jeopardy
Given the positive impact it has on the economy, climate change & peace and security, Farah has spent the past decade encouraging companies and governments to mainstream gender parity. Armed with empirical and anecdotal data, Farah demonstrates how progress on gender equality is not just slow – in some places, it’s reversing. This lack of movement, combined with the current public debate about how women are treated in workplaces and wider society has put gender parity in jeopardy.
