From Vermont Council on World Affairs:

In current events around the world, women are at the forefront of the issues we are facing and serve as catalysts for change and progress in the fight for equity, equality, and freedom. Global growth across all sectors is limited due to the barriers facing women - providing space for women and girls to have a more prominent role and voice in addressing our changing world will encourage a more prosperous future for all.

Guests include:

Ambassador Adela Raz - Former Permanent Representative and Ambassador of Afghanistan to the United Nations and Ambassador from Afghanistan to the United States

Charity Clark - Vermont Attorney General
