The improvement in the quality of a woman’s life will also create a better society, though it is important to work towards women’s empowerment sooner rather than later.
According to the 2023 World Economic Forum report, the global gender gap score is closed at 68.4%, a 0.3% improvement compared to last year’s report. The report says that with the current rate of progress, it will take 131 years to reach full parity.
It will take more than a century to reach full parity with the improvement speed we are going; hence, you understand the significance of women empowerment events increasing.
Here, we will look at women-centric events to be hosted in 2024 on women’s empowerment.
Benefits of Attending a Women’s Empowerment Event
Attending a women’s empowerment event is very beneficial, especially for women. These events not only provide an enormous opportunity to network and make connections but also encourage us to thrive in our professional and personal lives. Attendees also get to be aware of emerging issues and start a conversation on these issues while also learning the best practices of their industry. With all the workshops, seminars, and panel discussions, attendees receive valuable insight into the subject, knowledge in their specific field, and practical skills. In many events with experienced mentors, attendees can get advice on career and personal growth.
The most important aspect of a women’s empowerment event is the sense of belonging between people from the same community, where women feel heard and also get a chance to share their experiences, journeys, challenges, and successes with other members of the community.
