Topics for Farah Mohamed

  • Leadership at the International Level
    Farah Mohamed knows the power of making an impact at a national and international level. She shares how to start a movement on a global scale; change the narrative, ensure you have the skills, then drive change in terms of real actions and impact. Her success in developing and leading organizations like Malala Fund, G(irls)20 and The Belinda Stronach Foundation led her to launch programs around the world that empower young leaders.

  • Gender Parity in Jeopardy
    Given the positive impact it has on the economy, climate change & peace and security, Farah has spent the past decade encouraging companies and governments to mainstream gender parity. Armed with empirical and anecdotal data, Farah demonstrates how progress on gender equality is not just slow – in some places, it’s reversing. This lack of movement, combined with the current public debate about how women are treated in workplaces and wider society has put gender parity in jeopardy.
