Guide to Women Leaders in International Affairs GUIDE TO WOMEN LEADERS IN INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS WOMEN'S FOREIGN POLICY GROUP 2020 ABOUT THE GUIDE AND THE Women's Foreign Policy Group Each year, when the Women’s Foreign Policy Group publishes its Guide to Women Leaders in International Affairs, it gives us the opportunity to reflect on the many inspiring women shaping foreign policy around the world, as well as how far we've come and how far we still have to go. This year is especially important, as it marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations, the 25th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action—where Hillary Clinton famously declared, "Women's rights are human rights,"—and the 25th anniversary of the Women's Foreign Policy Group. Since its founding in 1995, the WFPG has worked tirelessly to advance women’s leadership in international affairs, to amplify their voices, and to support women at every stage of their careers. We are proud of our role in expanding the constituency in international affairs by convening global experts and creating a vital network of women with diverse backgrounds and experience. Through mentoring and career development programs, we connect aspiring leaders with role models, providing students and young professionals with the tools they need for career advancement and to contribute to a stronger, more peaceful, and equitable society. I hope that you find these women as inspiring as we do.

  • Kartlegging Av Partienes Toppkandidaters Erfaring Fra Næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021
    Kartlegging av partienes toppkandidaters erfaring fra næringslivet Stortingsvalget 2021 I det videre følger en kartlegging av hvilken erfaring fra næringslivet toppkandidatene fra dagens stortingspartier i hver valgkrets har. Det vil si at i hver valgkrets, har alle de ni stortingspartiene fått oppført minst én kandidat. I tillegg er det kartlagt også for øvrige kandidater som har en relativt stor sjanse for å bli innvalgt på Stortinget, basert på NRKs «supermåling» fra juni 2021. I noen valgkretser er det derfor mange «toppkandidater». Dette skyldes at det er stor usikkerhet knyttet til hvilke partier som vinner de siste distriktsmandatene, og ikke minst utjevningsmandatene. Følgende to spørsmål har vært utgangspunktet for kartleggingen: 1. Har kandidaten drevet egen bedrift? 2. Har kandidaten vært ansatt daglig leder i en bedrift? Videre er kartleggingen basert på følgende kilder: • Biografier på Stortingets nettside. • Offentlig tilgjengelig informasjon på nettsider som Facebook, LinkedIn, Proff.no, Purehelp.no og partienes egne hjemmesider. • Medieoppslag som sier noe om kandidatenes yrkesbakgrunn. Kartleggingen har derfor flere mulige feilkilder. For eksempel kan informasjonen som er offentlig tilgjengelig, være utdatert eller mangelfull. For å begrense sjansen for feil, har kildene blitt kryssjekket. SMB Norge tar derfor forbehold om dette ved offentliggjøring av kartleggingen, eller ved bruk som referanse.

  • Statement by H.E. Ms. Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway, at the Launch of the Interim Report of the High-Level Panel On
    Statement by H.E. Ms. Erna Solberg, Prime Minister of Norway, at the Launch of the Interim Report of the High-Level Panel on International Financial Accountability, Transparency and Integrity (FACTI) for Achieving the 2030 Agenda High-Level Launch Event and Panel Discussion 24 September 2020 8:00-10:30 AM (New York Time) Ladies and gentleman, Let me start by congratulating the organizers of today’s launch of the Interim Report of the FACTI Panel. I commend the co-chairs, former president Grybauskaité and former prime minister Mayaki for their steady steering of this process in what we all know are very challenging times. I would also like to thank Nigeria and the other co-hosts of this event. We greatly value our cooperation with you on raising awareness of this important topic. In the last 15 years, the international community has shown an increased interest in understanding the causes, sources, and effects of illicit financial frauds, but there is still much work to be done. As this report shows us, financial secrecy and illicit frauds can take many different forms. However, the effects are always the same. They lock people and countries in poverty, and have a severe impact on institutions, governance, democracy, and security. During the COVID19 crisis illicit frauds are exacerbating already significant social and economic challenges. The very few people who gain from illicit financial frauds do so at the cost of the many. It undermines our promise to leave no one behind. There is already a great deal of information about persisting gaps and loopholes in the global financial systems.
