International Women's Month - Women's Empowerment: How to Create Social Change

To celebrate International Women's Month we have invited two succesful women to talk about their work advocating for social change.

A moderated panel discussion, followed by an interactive Q&A session with two women who have made it their mission to bring about social change through empathy and hope.

Dr. Keetie Roelen, author of The Empathy Fix, will discuss the power of empathy in addressing enduring socioeconomic injustice, including gender inequality. Innate in all of us, empathy lays a crucial foundation for action – big and small – to create social change for the better.

Dr. Irene Guijt, is currently working on her new book Choosing Hope. Despite it All. She will talk about what it takes to choose hope, again and again, with those in mind who are making change happen on tough issues in difficult contexts. It is grounded in the experiences of dozens of changemakers working towards a just and healthy world and recent research.
