In Conversation: building a more inclusive future
The Charter champions initiatives that are helping to create cities and places that embed equity, equality, belonging and respect for all people, regardless of gender.
Public places play a significant role in community life. When women and girls don’t feel free to meaningfully access and participate in our public places, our cities become less vibrant. Creating more welcoming and inclusive public places for women, girls and gender diverse people can improve community wellbeing and mental health, remove barriers to participation in employment and education opportunities, and strengthen social connections.
Hear from Commission representatives, who explore and discuss ideas on gender equity, inclusion, women in leadership and how our Women’s Safety Charter is striving to create a multi-city region that is safer for everyone.
