WASHING-TON, 8. MARCH 2013: Join us for a live chat on gender (køn) and empowerment.
In the run-up to International Women’s Day, the World bank Group´s specialist panel and field researchers will be answering your questions and want to hear your stories about how women and men become empowered and overcome the challenges posed by gender norms.
In the Bank´s latest gender study, “On Norms and Agency: Conversations with Women and Men in 20 Countries,” it asked 4.000 men and women in 20 countries about their sense of empowerment and how gender norms influence their aspirations and opportunities.
The study found women’s sense of empowerment growing in communities around the world. At the same time, traditional gender norms still persist.
During this live chat, we will explore your stories along with the stories that came out of our study to identify successful paths to empowerment for all.
Submit your questions and thoughts in advance or share them in real-time on http://live.worldbank.org/international-womens-day-2013-chat
