Promoting Women in Leadership: a cross-sectoral dialogue

Α very interesting discussion was organized by the High Commission of Australia on the 2^nd of October. Speakers at the event were women who hold leadership positions in the sectors of Defense and the police. The speakers had the opportunity to tell their stories to the audience   in a very vivid   way.  They described in a very vivid way how they started their carriers, the challenges they faced, how they managed  to reach these high level positions and how they face their success.

Listening to them was very empowering, and for sure, many women who heard their stories, their challenges and successes, were inspired by the way these women persisted and managed to fulfill  their dream in a patriarchal society.  The struggle towards equality is still long, but today, at least in our society, women have the opportunity to choose and follow the carrier they want and aim to reach as high as they want, in spite of the challenges and the problems they encounter.
