ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The two-day conclave seeks to explore solutions for women and girls in South Asia by designing an institutional network for collaboration and women-led change, bringing together leading stakeholders from South Asia working on the broad rubric of gender equity and justice. The conference includes workshops, small group discussions and breakout sessions, to encourage networking among delegates, for them to explore innovative solutions and exchange notes on best practices, strategic partnerships and leadership tools. The discussions are expected to contribute to the designing of strategic tools towards the enhancement of women’s access to education, employable skills development, job opportunities, prospects of women-led entrepreneurship, women’s participation in democratic processes and politics, women’s safety, and women’s presence in the media. As the world gradually comes to terms with Covid-19 pandemic, its gendered effects call for further deliberation.
The conclave celebrates women at work even as it seeks to forge a transformative institutional platform to share or scale up their solutions with efficacy. At the same time it will mark a step ahead towards Goal No 17 of SDGs, which emphasises ‘Partnership for the Goals’.

SAWC 2022 will be hosted at KIIT and KISS, Bhubaneswar, India.
