    Linda Scott on Powering Women's Potential | RSA Events

    Women’s economic subordination is a global problem that affects us all. Gender equality, often treated as an afterthought or a luxury only wealthy countries can afford, is essential for stabilising and strengthening our economies, bettering our societies, and liberating women across the world. Economist Linda Scott examines the growing body of evidence that we all do better when women do better. At the RSA, we unite people and ideas to resolve the challenges of our time. Help shape change in a post-covid19 world. Email fellowship@rsa.org.uk or click here to find out more: https://bit.ly/3h44EtN SUBSCRIBE to our channel!

    The Epic Potential of Empowering Women | LSE Online Event

    Linda Scott coined the phrase “Double X Economy” to address the systemic exclusion of women from the world financial order. In her new book, which she talked about at this event, Scott argued on the strength of hard data and on-the-ground experience that removing those barriers to women's success is a win for everyone, regardless of gender. 🟡 This event is part of our Shaping the Post-COVID World initiative: #LSECOVID19 🔴 This event was streamed live on Facebook on the 3 February 2021: https://www.facebook.com/lseps/live 🔴 Find out about more of our upcoming events: http://www.lse.ac.uk/Events Speaker: 🔴 Professor Linda Scott Chair: 🔴 Professor Stephan Chambers ℹ️ More info: https://www.lse.ac.uk/Events/2021/02/202102031400/potential

    Event Speech: Private Sector Engagement and Women’s Economic Empowerment: Lessons Learned

    Professor Linda Scott outlines why a broad-scale, cross-sectoral alliance joining the private sector, civil society, international agencies and national governments will be necessary if women’s economic empowerment is to be achieved and sustained on a global scale. Her report argues for a new approach for including women - one that makes use of the special capabilities of the private sector and harnesses the world economy for change.
