All the livetweets from the women's panel
It's hard to believe that just a few weeks ago Ashoka, Equality Now, and EngenderHealth gathered luminaries of women's health to convene for a panel in New York City. Among these thought giants were Nick Kirstof, Sheryl WuDunn, Bill Drayton (our Ashoka founder!), Taina Bien-Aimé (of Equality Now), Ana Langer (of EngenderHealth), and Maria Hinojosa (Senior Correspondent at NOW on PBS).
Changemakers was there, livetweeting every development in the panel--after all, we are launching the first two of many more competitions to be focused on women's livelihooods. It's been gratifying to see the conversations continue after the event. With age-old struggles for women, a new focus on women's livelihoods by the UN, and dazzling new book Half the Sky by Kristof and WuDunn, it becomes apparent that we are reaching critical mass for change.
In spirit of revolution, people have asked for an account of our livetweets. Here they are in PDF format. Enjoy and share!
