We need more women in leadership roles across this country, in every business, every boardroom, in politics, in research, in think-tanks, in startup, in policy-making, in media, and in every conversation that will shape the way our world is, and where it's going, in an age of unprecedented change.

To do this we need to continue to advocate for fair play, integrity, equality, parity and diversity.

To do this, we need to continue to call out the companies and individuals who are not playing fair, and who continue to insult our collective humanity with their value-less, biased, small-minded, backward-facing behaviours and barriers to societal progress. This is not leadership, and we can do so much better than this.

To better shape the world we want to live in, we need to continue to advocate for, celebrate and empower today's leaders, both women and men, who are built on the things that matter: integrity, vision, strong values, wisdom, humility, collaboration and a commitment to diversity and shared purpose for the betterment of all.

At girledworld we're working on it, creating tomorrow's leaders today by making female role models visible and accessible to the next generation, by laying down pathways for girls through active mentorship and knowledge trading, and by building the pipeline through equipping today's girls with the skill-sets, mindsets and tech-sets they need to step up to leadership and shape the future world around them. 

Girls can't be what they can't see. And they need to see more examples of real leadership.

So let's work together across industry, government, education and business to show and teach the next generation of leaders what leadership looks like.

Let's work together to cultivate and celebrate leadership that is built on altruism, on listening, on respect, on equality, on parity, on diversity, on shared purpose, on collective vision, and on lived example.

And let's remember that we can do much better than we have been.

The future world depends on it.
