Fabulous discussion on women in leadership at #CHOGM2018 #WomensForum incl political quotas vs targets. Plenty of evidence that women on boards is good for business. ‘Leadership, transparency & sponsorship are critical’

There are both economic and moral arguments for the empowerment of women. My interview w/ @RosamundUrwin @ESfeatures

Joanna Roper: ‘It’s a great time to be a woman in diplomacy’

Joanna Roper is our first special envoy for gender equality - and her in-tray is overflowing. She tells Rosamund Urwin about taking on the boys’ club and why supporting other women is vital

Excellent event today to celebrate 100 years since women were able to cast a vote & stand as MP. More to do for parity in politics in UK & around the world. Women have a vital role to play! @dawes_melanie
