Tune in to find out more from our subject-matter experts and inspirational stories from across the Asia-Pacific region.
Uncover the untold stories on our podcast as we shine a spotlight on the pivotal role of women and girls across Asia-Pacific! Did you know that evidence points to a stark lack of gender equity in the design and development of science, technology, and financial solutions? From healthcare to well-being and education, the playing field isn't level.
In industries like science, medicine, and engineering, the norm often defaults to the young, Caucasian, 70kg male. It's time to challenge the status quo and explore how we can reshape a world that's designed with everyone in mind, especially women. Join us on this thought-provoking journey as we unravel the complexities, celebrate the resilience of women, and envision a world that truly caters to all. Let's redefine the narrative together!

In a world buzzing with advancements, from cutting-edge research to technological marvels, the progress seems exponential, yet the benefits remain unevenly distributed. This podcast is a rallying call to break the mold, challenging the status quo. The world as it stands wasn't designed with everyone in mind, especially not for women. Let's embark on a transformative journey together and explore how we can collectively redesign the world to uplift, empower, and celebrate the incredible strength and resilience of women everywhere!
