In the recent session of Future Leaders Academy 2.0, we were delighted to host Laura Simonyan, democratic governance and gender equality expert and consultant, as our guest speaker.
Laura delivered an insightful and engaging presentation on women’s political leadership, with a particular focus on gender equality and the role of inclusive communication in political discourse. She shared valuable perspectives on both local and international regulatory frameworks, as well as the current state of women’s leadership in Armenian politics. Special attention was given to the importance of gender-sensitive approaches in shaping more inclusive and effective political environments.
The session concluded with an interactive Q&A, where participants explored key challenges and opportunities in advancing gender equality and strengthening women’s leadership in politics, while exchanging views and reflections on fostering more inclusive societies.
Future Leaders Academy 2.0 remains committed to equipping young leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to drive meaningful change.
