“Find here the visio of the round table of March 24, 2021 organized by 2GAP on women’s professional networks as a lever for women’s leadership”
As part of the CSW side events ( Commission on the status of womenof the UN), 2GAP organized a first round table entitled “Women’s professional networks: drivers of women’s leadership to transform our society”.
It was highlighted the need to advance women’s leadership in public and private organizations, especially in their governance and power bodies, so that they act directly on decisions and influence public policies.
Introduction: Nathalie PILHES, President of 2GAP
Theme 1: The women’s professional networks: a lever on the evolution of governance and an asset for public authorities and companies
2GAP brings together women’s and mixed professional networks from traditionally separate sectors: public and private. This conjunction of the two sectors is unprecedented. By sharing their assets and experiences, public and private networks constitute an operational and highly responsive force for proposals and actions, both in the field and at the top of the decision-making chain. 2GAP participated in the “gender scan” study on the impact of professional networks on gender diversity in companies, including in governance and management bodies.
2GAP is also developing research, training and lobbying activities, in particular through a laboratory of ideas that will be a force for proposals to change the legislative and regulatory frameworks within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
