Theatre director Jude Kelly founded the Women of the World (WOW) Festival almost two decades ago to spur conversations about women, men and feminism.

WOW is now a global phenomenon, but does the rise of online misogyny pose a threat to progress on gender equality.

Jude Kelly, who spoke to Radio Davos on World Women's Day 2024, says why it is vital to include men in the conversations about an issue that affects us all.

This episode was first published on 28 March, 2024. Radio Davos will resume new weekly podcasts from September 2024.
