Women's Leadership and Empowerment

  “Some leaders are born women.”

The topic of this year’s Conference is inspired by fact that women constitute half of the world’s population, perform nearly two thirds of its work hours, receive one-tenth of the world’s income and  still own less than one-hundredth of the world’s property. 

This Conference will try to answer multiple questions regarding the role and importance of women in contemporary societies. What potential and impact do they have in politics, business, education and public sector? What are the major trends and what are the possible ways for empowerment of their hidden, but huge, potential?

By taking a part in International Leadership Conference 2006, you will have a chance to learn and discuss this and many more issues of importance in creating and developing leadership skills, especially among disadvantaged groups.
