Gender injustice continues to blight first and developing worlds, rich and poor. It is an ancient and continuing wrong that is millennial in duration and global in reach.

Shami Chakrabarti lays out the huge challenges we face to create a more gender equal world for women from all backgrounds, where women and men share power, responsibility and opportunity and everyone has a chance to fulfil their full potential.

Join us for this free event where Baroness Chakrabarti outlines what needs fixing and why we must put women's rights at the centre of any progressive global political agenda.

To register for the event, please be at the event venue at 17:40.
