In the latest instalment of our Road to Character series, Dame Helena Morrissey Helena Morrissey explains how men and women can work together to create a more prosperous and equal world.
Addressing an audience which included a number of A-Level students, Helena challenged the next generation to take an even bolder approach to the issue of gender equality, and recognise that meaningful progress is not about tokenism or quotas, but about harnessing the unique abilities of all individuals.
Discussing the conclusions of her new book, A good time to be a girl; don’t lean in, change the system, she asserted that equality is not only about increasing the representation of women in the world’s boardrooms and parliaments, but valuing the skills and perspectives they offer. Only then will communities and nations around the world be able to fulfil their extraordinary potential.
