Brief

Over the past two decades, Arab women have made a qualitative leap across all sectors thanks to their unfaltering determination and big aspirations. Given the current challenges holding women back from assuming leading government position, Arab countries still have a long way to go to ensure full women empowerment. This plenary session hosts a distinguished group of female leaders who are not only recognized in the Arab world, but also across the globe.
