🌍 Advancing Women’s Advocacy: BPW International and the Women 7 (W7) Process 🌟
BPW International was honored to feature the hybrid panel discussion "BPW International and the Women 7 Process" during the 31st International Congress of Business and Professional Women on the picturesque island of St. Kitts. This impactful session, moderated by former W7 Advisor Christine Heinze, brought together W7 Advisor Carla Laura Petruzzelli and former W7 Advisor Yasue Nunoshiba to explore how women’s advocacy can drive global policy change.
The Women 7 (W7) process is a vital platform that ensures women’s voices are central to the discussions shaping G7 policies. BPW International is proud to collaborate with the W7 to advance gender-inclusive solutions to global challenges.
Key highlights from the panel included:
➡️ The Power of Advocacy and Collaboration: Panelists shared how BPW International links grassroots initiatives to global policy frameworks, showcasing the impact of collective efforts.
➡️ Driving Gender-Inclusive Policies: The discussion emphasized the W7’s focus on climate justice, economic empowerment, and leadership opportunities for women.
➡️ Leadership and Action: Christine, Carla and Yasue shared personal insights from their experiences as W7 Advisors, offering practical guidance on navigating the complexities of global advocacy.
The session inspired participants to continue advocating for women’s empowerment and systemic change. As Christine aptly reminded us during the discussion, “When women lead, the world thrives.”
Our heartfelt thanks to Carla, Yasue, and Christine for their invaluable contributions and to everyone who joined us for this enriching conversation. Together, we reaffirm BPW International’s commitment to ensuring women’s voices shape the global agenda.
