What bold actions are needed to realise true gender equity?

This International Women’s Day, the RSA invites you to a powerful event focused on advancing women’s leadership and action for systemic change. Featuring an incredible panel of women including I. Stephanie Boyce, the trailblazing first Black President of the Law Society of England and Wales, we’ll explore the transformative power of women’s leadership in addressing society’s most urgent challenges.

Grounded in the RSA’s mission to unite people and ideas to create social change, this event will delve into how we can drive progress across education, work, and institutions to create more inclusive and equitable systems.

Together, we’ll discuss actionable solutions for accelerating progress—from empowering women in underrepresented fields to redefining leadership and building networks that amplify impact. Celebrating women’s resilience and achievements, the event offers a bold vision for the future and a renewed commitment to gender equity.

Speakers:

  • I. Stephanie Boyce, former president of the Law Society of England and Wales

  • Sophia Smith Galer, author and journalist
