In this episode of ESG Matters with Risk Insights, host Anushka Bogdanov explores why excluding women from global leadership and peace-making structures weakens societies, destabilises governance, and undermines long-term resilience. 

Inspired by recent leadership announcements at the World Economic Forum...  “Board of Peace”, this episode examines the deeper structural consequences of sidelining women — from conflict resolution and economic policy to caregiving, childbirth, and invisible labour. 

This is not a political argument. 
It is a civilisation argument. 

🎧 In this episode: 

• Why peace cannot be engineered by power alone 

• How motherhood and caregiving remain systemically undervalued 

• Where modern misogyny hides inside leadership and performance cultures 

A call for leadership rooted in wisdom, empathy, stewardship, and long-term thinking — the foundations of true peace.
