“Our initiative is rooted in the belief that meaningful change requires a collective effort. Only through collaboration, can we amplify marginalised voices, bridge gaps in understanding, and co-create strategies that address the systemic roots of gender disparities,” said Mthembu.
Facilitated by an advocate for women empowerment, Olwethu Leshabane and radio veteran Thabo ‘Tbose’ Mokwele, attendees can look forward to panel discussions from inspiring female and male leaders curated for collaboration to inspire and ignite change.
