Aspen Forum on Women and Girls Conversations Across Generations
March 1, 2016 | Aspen Forum on Women and Girls, Convenings
On March 7th, the eve of International Women’s Day, we hosted an evening reception and discussion featuring the movement for economic justice and equality for women and girls. The program included a tribute to Helen Neuborne, an incredible leader in championing women’s economic empowerment, rights, and justice, for her important work with the Ford Foundation.
We carried these important issues into the next morning, on March 8th, with a series of plenary sessions featuring provocative conversations about women’s rights, economic justice, and leadership across US and global landscapes. During this program, leaders across generations shared their views on what has been accomplished and the challenges and opportunities ahead.
