LIGHTNING TALK
What the path towards an equitable future for women all around the world needs to look like, Brazilian politician Tabata Amaral is demonstrating every day: provide quality education to everyone, ensure equality in opportunities, and give young, ambitious women like herself a seat at the decision making table. In this Lightning Talk, Tabata Amaral will illustrate the relation between her work as a young, female, aspirational politician in Brazil and her activist efforts. She will discuss what it needs for girls and women to strive and get the same opportunities as men. She will reveal which way ends in a deadlock, and will explain which concrete steps governments and societies need to take instead, to ensure we are following the path towards gender equality and inclusivity, lifting up those who have commonly been left behind.
