Title: Women, Culture and Social Change
Date: March 27, 2008
Description: Increasingly, social entrepreneurs working in healthcare, education and economic development are relying on women and girls to create and sustain change in communities around the world. What's driving this focus on women and girls? What are the models and opportunities for success? What are the challenges and cultural barriers faced by these approaches? And how are traditional, often male-dominated, cultural and community institutions accommodating this changing landscape? Join these panelists for a vigorous, candid and real world conversation on the myths, pitfalls and imperatives surrounding this topic.
