BRUSSELS, BELGIUM, December 10, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Women Leaders United Summit: A Pathway to a Peaceful and Prosperous Europe

On December 11, 2024, during the European Gender Equality Week, the Women Leaders United Summit, dedicated to “A Pathway to a Peaceful and Prosperous Europe,” will take place at the European Parliament.
This event is organized by Women Leaders for Ukraine and the United For Ukraine Association with the official support of the Office of the Vice-President of the European Parliament Giuseppina Picierno and the Mission of Ukraine to the European Union, with support from EY.

As Russia’s war continues to inflict immense suffering and destruction, Ukrainian women supported by their European partners have emerged as powerful forces, driving innovation, rebuilding communities, and shaping the future. In the context of European Gender Equality Week, this event aims to discuss critical topics and possible solutions to address these challenges through the prism of Women’s Participation and Leadership in Peacemaking, Security, Innovation, and Sustainable Economic Growth. The event will bring versatile female leaders from European institutions and various professional and cultural backgrounds together to discuss pressing challenges and highlight women’s perspectives on solutions and opportunities. The first-panel discussion will focus on women’s contributions to peace negotiations and the role of media and modern technologies in conflict. The second-panel discussion will address economic recovery, education, and opportunities for women in strategic sectors.

“The war in Ukraine has been raging for over 2.5 years, posing unprecedented challenges to democracy and the future of European prosperity. At Women Leaders for Ukraine, we believe that platforms like the Women Leaders United Summit are vital to uniting partners from across the globe to secure a brighter future for future generations. This summit is more than a discussion—it’s a call to action, highlighting the transformative power of women’s leadership in peacemaking, innovation, security, and sustainable growth. Together, we can shape solutions, strengthen opportunities, and pave the way for a resilient and united Europe,” said Iryna Papusha, Founder of Women Leaders for Ukraine.

Selected speakers include:
● Giuseppina Picierno, Vice-President of the European Parliament
● Oleksandra Matviichuk, Founder of the Centre of Civil Liberties, Nobel Peace Laureate 2022
