Top Egyptian women gathering to probe gender equality soon
Top 50 Women Forum has announced on Monday that its Third Egyptian Women’s Summit will take place under the auspices of Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly, on March 3-4.
Egyptian Women’s Summit 2024 intends to initiate consequential discussions on gender equality as well as ways to fight all forms of gender discrimination and ensure that funding and rehabilitation mechanisms are in place to promote women empowerment. The event will kick off with the resourceful collaboration of the European Union and in partnership with the Egyptian National Council for Women (NCW).
Under the theme “A 360° Guide toward a Prosperous Life”, the Summit will bring together barrier-breaking women across industries and generations in addition to senior government officials, EU ambassadors, and representatives of the private sector, international organisations, and developmental initiatives.
The two-day event will feature the Eu-supported Great Women of Egypt Exhibition, and an employment fair. In addition, the panels at the Summit will include Global Changes and the Enabling Environment; Global Environment into Practice: Laws, Public Policies, Empowerment Programmes; European Insipiring Trajectories/Experiences; and A Vision toward Gender Equality at the Workplace.
This year’s Summit will present for the first time the Entrepreneurial Investor Competition: Empowering and Uniting, which aims to promote women’s entrepreneurship and unleash and develop their skills. The competition will see the selection of the most outstanding and impactful project during the exhibition.
Moreover, the event is also set to host four major EU-supported coaching sessions on career readiness, team building, mastering your career, essential skills for success, and habits of the most effective people. There will be a number of workshops, supported by Pathfinder, covering financial inclusion and women social empowerment.
During the event, Education for Employment-Egypt (EFE-Egypt) will also sponsor a number coaching sessions, namely: Women Empowerment Model; AI: Opening Doors to Innovation and Growth; Personal Branding; Fostering Collaboration and Positivity in the Workplace; and Communication Skills: Success Milestone.
