The World Bank Group, the Gates Foundation, and LSE's Hub for Equal Representation in the Economy (H.E.R.) are hosting this inaugural event.

Bringing together leading researchers, policymakers and practitioners from around the world, this two-day conference will examine how women's leadership shapes economic, political and social outcomes, and what policies and interventions can expand women's access to leadership roles.

Across keynote lectures, research presentations and panel discussions, participants will explore evidence from around the world on the barriers women face in attaining leadership positions, the effectiveness of policies designed to increase representation, and the broader impacts of women's leadership on development outcomes.
