The virtual seminar will take place on 15th June 2021.
This event is one way of supporting and amplifying global initiatives launched in the past few years. There has been a global surge in public focus on and commitment to gender rights and diversity and inclusion (D&I) in the workplace; from the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter movements, and calls for equal pay, to CEOs publicly weighing in on the importance of this issue through initiatives such as the #WeSeeEqual summit and CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge.
Webinar patrons can expect action-packed sessions filled with empowering talks, and robust panel discussions related to gender diversity and inclusivity issues by some of South Africa and Sub-Sahara Africa’s renowned individuals who are passionate about creating a gender balanced continent both economically and socially. Speakers include:
Refilwe Modiselle – Africa’s successful model, and award-winning actress, born with albinism and Zulaikah Patel – South African anti-racism activist are among the esteemed speakers of the day.
