Um málþingið
As societies strive toward greater equality in today’s interconnected world, the experiences and challenges of minority women, including young women from Roma communities and other minoritised groups, require focused attention. Iceland, known for its commitment to gender equality, provides a unique platform to explore these issues and share successful strategies for empowerment.
This public event will bring together experts, activists, educators, academics, and young women to highlight initiatives and practices concerning girls' and women's rights. The primary objective of this event is to shine a spotlight on successful initiatives, with Iceland’s participation, that have empowered young women from minority backgrounds. It will also explore the common challenges organisations and institutions face working with young women of minority backgrounds and discuss practical solutions.
At the end of the panels, there will be a guided tour of the Vigdís Exhibition and informal networking over refreshments.
