Introduction to YWLC and opening by Citi

Opening Fireside chat with Guest-of-Honour
Rahayu Mahzam

The launch of the White Paper on Singapore Women’s Development in 2022 has outlined concrete actions to take collectively towards a fairer and more inclusive society in the next decade. We invite our GOH, an active advocate for levelling the playing field for women, in a candid fireside chat. Through her lens, we hope to uncover the meaning of gender equity at a personal level, and what it could look like for Singapore.

Panel discussion • Embracing Equity in Singapore
Stacey N Lacy•Khairah Rahim•Lionel Wee

Embracing equity forges harmony and unity and should be in the DNA of every society. The conversations on Women's Development have initiated a series of discussions exploring how we can work towards and aspire building a society that embraces diversity and is built for inclusion. In this panel, we will be bringing together a line-up of diverse voices to further this discussion and dig deeper into what it means to embrace gender equity in our local community.

1) Understanding where we are: What are the existing gaps in gender equity in the local context, from different perspectives of our society?
2) Finding common ground towards building a more equitable future: What changes or mindset shifts need to happen and how can we take collective responsibility to be part of the solution?
3) Moving forward: What would an equitable society look like, especially for women in the next decade?

The Human Library is designed to be a safe space where we can have authentic conversations about the importance of equity in different realms of life.
