Leadership Tuesdays: The World Needs Women's Equal Representation

'...the world needs “women’s equal representation in leadership positions, in peace making, in communities, in politics, in business and in religious institutions.”'*

 --Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuk, United Nations Women Executive Director 

Every other Tuesday, WOMEN AT LIBERTY presents Leadership Tuesdays, a platform for a variety of voices and resources to develop, encourage, and strengthen women leaders. In celebration of International Women's Day on March 8, 2014, Vital Voices, headquartered in Washington, D.C., hosted a Global Mentoring Walk in several cities including Washington, D.C. Leadership Tuesdays was on location talking with Gigi Scoles, Human Rights Director, about the event and their organization. To see the brief video, click here.
