We discuss influential people in the world who are working to improve issues of leadership, governance, and gender equality. World leaders, business moguls, and notable people will be singled out for special attention.

Worldwide, most countries, especially emerging ones, struggle with issues of leadership and governance. Developed nations face the additional difficulty of rallying international support and coordinating international activities in pursuit of global agendas that benefit the common good of all people everywhere. Sharing their work with the world, we highlight the efforts of world leaders, individuals, and organizations that are enacting positive social change on a global, regional, national, and local scale for the benefit of society’s underprivileged members.

 Current topics of interest to women, men, and persons with disabilities are discussed in the context of gender and gender inclusion. Increased female participation and leadership in political and governing processes is a priority for us. Get the word out and get the young people involved in being ambassadors and activists for gender equality.
