8:45 – 10:15 Investing in Women’s Reproductive Health Equals Investing in Economic and Social Progress

for Everyone

Achieving gender equality requires addressing the reproductive health needs of women.

However, despite improvements in gender equality in other domains, too little progress has

been achieved on this critical front. The lack of investment in reproductive health is a missed

opportunity for development. This panel will review the economic benefits of investing in

reproductive health, including improved labour productivity, reduced out-of-pocket

expenditures, enhanced the human capital of future generations, and increased economicgrowth. Investing in reproductive health is smart economics for policy makers in developing

countries, but obstacles still exist. We will explore proven and promising policy levers to

accelerate progress.

11:30 – 13:00 Investing in Girls

It is universally recognised that girls’ access to education is key to their future contributions to

society and their own sense of fulfillment. Enabling girls to participate fully in all aspects of

family, political and community life is critical to gender equality. The panel will explore

continuing barriers and challenges to ensuring that every girl has access to an education and the

experiences and rights that will enable her to flourish.

14:45 – 16:15 Women's Health

The reproductive health paradigm established at Cairo called for a holistic women-centred

approach to achieve comprehensive reproductive health care. Over the past years, we have

come to understand that broader issues of women’s health also need to be seen as part of that

comprehensive approach. The dramatic increase in non-communicable diseases from cancers to

diabetes affects reproductive health. Women’s mental health, infertility and sexuality are all still

neglected. The disproportionate number of women in poverty is a further health challenge. A life

cycle approach to women’s health is sorely needed. This panel will explore those challenges, and

ways in which women’s health needs can better be meet.

16:30 – 17:55 Women Lead - Opportunities and Challenges

There is no doubt that substantial progress has been made in women’s leadership, not just in

traditional areas such as health and education but as leaders in finance, government and

communications, and as cultural icons. Younger women can rise to leadership sooner. Yet, even

the world’s most powerful women speak of challenges and of being ignored. This will be a livelyand intimate look at how women leaders see their own leadership. It will also explore the latest

in leadership theories, with the panelists’ perceptions of what makes for great leaders in the

21st Century.

14:45 – 16:15 Presidential Session: Ending Violence Against Women

Worldwide attention has been focused on the increasingly virulent attacks on women. In

Pakistan, Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head and neck in an assassination attempt by Taliban.

Her crime: advocating for girls education. In India, a young medical student was raped and

murdered by a gang of five assailants. Every 20 minutes, a woman in India is raped. Since the

1990s, successive waves of murders of young women have left hundreds of women dead. In

South Africa, a woman is killed by an intimate partner every eight minutes. Women Deliver is

dedicated to ending violence against women. This panel will discuss what is happening,

why, and what can be done to end it. The panel includes leaders in the efforts to end violence

from India, Afghanistan, and the United States. Bachi Karkaria, columnist from The Times of

The renewed effort to ensure that 120 million women and couples have access to the

contraception they want by 2020 has reinvigorated the sexual and reproductive health and

rights community. Now, we need to inspire the larger community focused on the post 2015

agenda to join with us as we need to join with them. The effort to make contraception available

is not a stand-alone agenda. It’s part of our commitment to reduce poverty, enhance human

rights, feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty and share the wealth we have with those whoneed it. Doing this requires innovative ways of thinking and acting. Hear how social innovators,

powerf ul advocates and provocative thinkers get the messages out and change people’s minds

9:00 – 10:30 The Development Agenda Through a Woman’s Lens

We are moving toward the adoption of new goals for development, framed under the theme of

a sustainable world. Yet, the goals established in various UN documents such as the ICPD

Program of Action, The Beijing Platform of Action and the MDGs – especially those related to

reproductive health –are far from achieved; In some cases they are still controversial and

inadequate for the challenges of the future. How can the new development goals adequatelyaddress women’s rights and needs? This panel will provide some answers.

13:15 – 14:45 Plenary Lunch: How to Think About Population, Sustainability andWomen’s RightsFrom the first conference on population and development in Bucharest in 1974, the question of

whether population growth contributes to poverty and environmental degradation has been

contested. The development of a woman-centred human rights approach to population at the

Cairo conference was lauded by some as a paradigm shift and by others as diminishing the

financial commitment to reproductive health. The increasing interest in reducing the negative

effects of climate change has opened the debate once again. This panel will discuss that debate

The World We Want is not just a slogan—it represents the vision each of us has for the kind of

future we need. For no group is it more real than those under the age of 30 who will live out the

lives today’s leaders initiate in the post-2015 agenda. On this panel, young leaders will share

their vision for the world they want.

16:15 – 17:40 Closing Plenary: Creating a Just and Sustainable World: A Call to Action

As the conference comes to a close, the key question of equality for women and girls will be

highlighted. In a just and sustainable world, girls will be as valued as boys and women’s

intelligence, skills, compassion, will be as honoured as that of men. This panel will examine the

barriers to equality but also point the way to achieving a just and sustainable world.
