Abstract:
Women Political Leaders (WPL) is the global network of women politicians. The mission of WPL is to increase both the number and the influence of women in political leadership positions. WPL communities are women in political office, namely, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, Members of Parliaments, Mayors. WPL activities are centred around six key policy focus areas for which WPL benefits from the experience of such leaders. On the occasion of conferences and roundtables in the different regions of the world, women political leaders share good practices and challenges that need to be addressed for better policy making: Leadership & Governance; Digitalisation & Technology; Sustainable Development Goals; Peace & Security; Economics & Finance; Health. WPL strives in all its activities to demonstrate the impact of more women in political leadership, for a global better sustainability. To accelerate, women need three things: communication, connection, community. At WPL, optimising the power of communication and connection builds new communities of knowledge for women political leaders everywhere in the world. WPL believes that progress happens by convening women political leaders who have the drive and the influence to create positive change. WPL is an independent, international, post-partisan and not-for-profit foundation based in Reykjavik, Iceland (the world champion of gender equality)and Belgium. Silvana Koch-Mehrin is the Founder and President of the WPL Foundation.
