But is the rhetoric aligning to movement\, action\, and change? To what extent are we positioning ourselves for actual\, rapid\, and sustainable advancement – and what are the ways in which we are stalling? How can we convince everyone that gender equality is for the good of all humankind\, not just females? This panel will explore how the action we take today will have ripple effects for the future and offer tangible ways for us all to harness our individual and collective power to upend systems of oppression. \n
