With a broad sampling of topical content and powerful speakers, we took an in-depth look at the challenges women will face over the next decade, with an eye toward workable solutions. In her closing remarks, Véronique Morali, my predecessor as President of the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society, congratulated speakers, participants and partners for their courage to confront obstacles to women’s empowerment as well as for their perseverance in the drive to overcome them. “We live in a world of paradox, because we need to be cheerful, even though we are very depressed every year by what happens,” Ms Morali said. “We need to be focused and driven even though we are distracted by the constraints and the immensity of what we have to achieve every day as women.” The Global Meeting followed on the success of two other major Women’s Forum events in 2014 – Women’s Forum Brussels in the European Parliament, and the third edition of Women’s Forum Brazil in São Paulo – and preceded the historic Women’s Forum Myanmar-ASEAN in December. As we head into the second decade of our existence, the Women’s Forum for the Economy and Society will play an increasingly vital role worldwide as a focal point for women’s voices. Along with upcoming events in Brussels, Brazil, Italy, Japan and Mexico, the inaugural Women’s Forum Dubai will take place in 2016 in the United Arab Emirates. For my part, I hope to build on the successes of my predecessor and make the Women’s Forum the place where the future is conceived and imagined thanks to the will and the actions of women.
