Join us for "Empowering Women: A Future-Ready Workforce Force" hosted by the Women's Policy Action Network on Tuesday, the 29th of August, 2023 at 4PM live on WPAN and Advocata Institute's Facebook page and YouTube channel.

In the wake of the worst economic crisis since its independence, Sri Lanka is moving rapidly on much needed reforms. Social infrastructures that cater to unburden women's disproportionate care work will be one of the areas of focus at this conference. Further women's access to digital devices and the internet can increase their participation in economic activities, particularly in relation to digital entrepreneurship will also be discussed.

The Key note speaker for this conference is Lakmini Wijesundera (Co-Founder & CEO of IronOne Technologies & BoardPac)

The conference will facilitate two separate discussion sessions on improving Social infrastructure and digital infrastructure, with panelists who are experts in the relative conversations.

This WPAN event is supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands and facilitated by the Advocata Institute
