5 Million Women Change Agents in 5 Years!
Monday, May 13th, 2013
The Global Women’s Leadership Network has joined forces with others to launch a major effort in developing women and girl leaders around the world. They posted an open innovation challenge and are looking for fresh thinking on how to quickly build leadership capacity in women and girls. Their stretch goal is to develop 5 million women change agents improving our world in 5 years.
This is an important effort for many reasons. As they point out in the preamble to the challenge:
“There is a growing recognition that there can be no peace, security, or sustainable economic development without women’s equal participation in all spheres of society.”
You need to register with Innocentive and electronically sign an agreement to see the details of the challenge. I signed up as a solver and suggested an approach (copied below) based on knowledge cards and NewHabits.
I hope you too will take up the challenge.
