Why we’re Losing Ground in the Fight for Gender Equality | Caroline Riseboro | TEDxDonMills

Posted

Watch our Chapter President, Caroline Riseboro’s TEDxDon Mills talk on the importance of men being allies in the fight for gender equality.

 

 

The march for gender equality is being held back because there are not enough men invested in its success. Women, we must insist men are at the table. Men it’s time for you to lean in. And this is perhaps the most important – make the case for why gender equality is a win-win, not zero-sum game. Gender equality is good for everyone.

Caroline is the President and CEO of Plan International Canada and Canada’s Most Powerful Woman Top 100 Award Winner 2017 & 2018. She has been an active community member and a member of several non-profit boards. As the youngest person to ever lead a major Canadian charity, Caroline is a passionate advocate for gender equality and is recognized for her commitment to tackling some of the world’s most pressing issues.
