Shaping inclusive cities: Safe spaces for all

Description
Creating safe, inclusive cities involves engaging diverse communities in decision-making, implementing gender-responsive designs, and ensuring accessible public spaces. We'll discuss how the physiognomy of a city can have a profound impact on the life of women, in the short and long term from the job opportunities they have access to, to their social development. We will also address the critical issue of street harassment and toxic behaviours that disproportionately affect women, limiting their social, cultural and economic opportunities. Join us to explore transformative approaches to building vibrant and inclusive urban communities.

Reinventing role models: Crafting new representations of women

Description
As the arts industry is essentially male dominated, iconic female characters and representations are generally crafted by men. This means they are depicted in ways that do not always resonate with their everyday realities and challenges and are idealised or confined within the limits of very stereotypical roles. How can we ensure that female characters, as well as stories written and produced by women, get full recognition and have a space to thrive in the face of the general public? And how do we create healthy dialogue on fair representation in the art world, in a way that ensures more accurate portrayals of women, depicting them with richer, stronger, and more nuanced characters?
