Fireside Chat: Advancing Women's Voices in Public Life

Women leaders - whether activists, journalists, politicians, creators, or human rights defenders - are using the internet to inform, inspire, and mobilize communities like never before. Yet their ability to participate fully and confidently online depends on supportive ecosystems that address the barriers they face. This fireside chat will focus on how technology, policy, and community engagement can work together to strengthen women's digital participation. The conversation will spotlight successful models, cross-sector collaborations, and policy innovations that help women harness the full potential of the internet to lead, connect, and shape public discourse.
