OVERVIEW

Womenquake* is a neutral place where existing ideas and beliefs concerning gender differences and women are debated and challenged; more important however, Womenquake is a movement that will nudge history towards a better future for humanity.

It has been founded on the premise that our constructed realities fuel and drive our individual and collective behaviours. The main goals of Womenquake are:

• To shake the foundations of the false and outdated ideas and beliefs that have driven human behaviour as far as gender and women issues are concerned;

• To seek and re-construct better foundational ideas for better human societies, and;

• To share new designs and models for future public policies.

* Womenquake is the joint initiative of Womenpreneur Initiative and MC Academy for International Legal Studies: not-for-profit organisations.

17:50 -18:30 Discussion

Successful women: the rule, not an exception: It seems that there are significant inequalities between men and women as active contributors to the economy and as business actors. For one reason or another, women are still relatively marginalised in this respect. This is the result of many erroneous and archaic ideas and beliefs that spawned from one generation to another. One lingering misconception is that women who succeeded in the realm of economy and business and other endeavours outside the home are an exception and not the rule. The struggle to change this destructive mindset and narrative must continue! Moderator: Dr. Adnan Amkhan Bayno, Director of MC Academy
