The main issues affecting women in today’s society and in the workplace

Our experts in Women’s Issues deliver attractive keynotes based on women’s entry into the world – both in a private and business context, while focusing on historical and contemporary female characters. Women are put under the microscope by our keynote speakers who make both serious and humorous reflections on the traits of influential females.
The top-notch speakers underline the differences between men and women with emphasis on equal opportunities. One of the biggest obstacles for gender equality occurs in the workplace. Although women have caught up with men, or even suppressed them in terms of education, female workers are still paid significantly less than their male counterparts and continue to be underrepresented in senior management roles. Contact A-Speakers to book popular keynotes and learn how to tackle gender issues effectively. Deepen your knowledge on the role of women in business, politics and society.
