14 December 2021 at 08:00
Online Webinar
This was a public webinar. You can watch a recording above, or listen to it in podcast form here.
Julia Gillard, former Prime Minister of Australia, and Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand, will recap their extraordinary political careers, discuss the unique challenges facing women leaders, identify the systemic barriers that keep more women out of leadership roles, and reflect on the impact of the pandemic on women globally.
There will also be a Q&A session where webinar viewers will be able to submit questions for consideration.
Holly Walker, Deputy Director of the Helen Clark Foundation and author of ‘The Whole Intimate Mess: Motherhood, Politics, and Women’s Writing’ will facilitate the conversation.
Priority registration will be made available to Helen Clark Foundation members, and then the event will be open to the public until registration is full.
