Workshop theme: Women's leadership skills development

Our Women in Leadership workshop is aimed at helping you gain key skills for your leadership development and is part of our work to support women’s leadership.

We recognise that there is a lack of women leaders throughout society and the need to address this gender disparity in leadership roles continues to have urgency. For instance, although women are overrepresented in the student movement itself, when it comes to positions of power and steering the movement, women fair less, especially women from liberation backgrounds.
