Women back in the day were often bound by traditions and cultural norms that education, politics, and business were considered taboo. But women themselves stepped up, breaking these taboos and barriers, have taken the leadership upon themselves and driven changes across the globe in politics, business and education. From political leaders to CEOs and academic pioneers, they have reshaped global leadership trends, reshaping the future and its generations.
From the first female prime minister to CEOs and academic pioneers, women have held relatively higher positions in parliaments, business fields and institutes and universities. And these milestones have created a shift in diversity, inclusion and mainly in gender equality towards the leadership of women.
No matter what achievements, some challenges have led a thorny path to these successes. Challenges have strengthened women to stand and fight their way to these milestones. Barriers to entry, wage disparities, and persistent stereotypes still hinder progress. Many women face double standards, limited access to networks, and systemic biases that slow their rise to decision-making positions. But it has not stopped them from creating a change in society and the globe, questioning gender equality in minor and major fields as well.
Conferences that empower women provide the opportunity to step up, identify global leadership trends, identify the diversity of gender equality, enhance them and use them. And Future of Women 2026, plays a role in bringing these gaps together: networking with field experts, aspiring leaders and change makers; shares and learn success stories and encourages them to thrive in gender equality leadership to fuel global changes to support women’s empowerment.
