To mark International Women’s Day 2022, the Evening Standard and the London Press Club hosted one of four panels of leading women in the UK to discuss issues surrounding female empowerment. The panel was led by former BBC Radio Four producer, Carole Stone.

The London panel, themed “Women as Catalysts for Resilience, Diversity & Change”, discussed gender diversity, inclusion and open communication in the workplace.

Guests from our own newsroom included columnist Nimco Ali, Dawn Alford, executive director of the Society of editors, Press Club young journalist of the year winner Abbianca Makoni, and the Evening Standard’s Chief Content Officer Anna Van Praag.

Other panels took place simultaneously in Zagreb, Karachi, Beirut, Nairobi, Amman and Dubai.

The events were organised by Elizabeth Fillipouli, founder of the Athena40 forum.
