This week we are joined by Emily Batchelor and Amy Dwyer, both newly appointed Women’s Officers for the Young Fabians, to discuss female leadership through Covid and beyond. We spoke about how female leaders around the world have had some of the most effective and competent responses to the current pandemic and explore the reasons behind it. We spoke about the importance of gender parity within Parliament and what measures organisations such as 50:50 Parliament are doing to achieve this. We also discussed the need for more female leaders and visual representations of powerful women towards dismantling the obstacles women face when running for office.
