In April, Lindsey had the opportunity to speak at the Share Her Voice conference at the ESCP-Europe, Paris. The event, organized by Empow’Her and Wikistage, celebrated the theme of empowerment and the defense of girls’ and women’s rights, and focused on the importance of including men—at the level of individuals, communities and institutions—who defend women’s rights and want to promote equality between men and women.
By sharing real-life success stories and news of inspiring initiatives that have helped to promote women’s empowerment around the world, Share Her Voice has sent out a clear and uplifting message: “Everyone can be a changemaker. Each one of us can make a difference by speaking up in the public realm!”
