We Need to Talk about Gender Equality
The root cause of all issues affecting women lies in the myopic view by which society looks and judges women. Society has bound women with many rules and regulations and any woman that dares to cross the boundary is vilified and even physically harmed. Most of these rules and regulations are impractical, counterproductive and prevent a woman from realizing her true potential. Lifting such archaic boundaries and bringing about gender equality is the need of the hour. One way of kickstarting discussions on such women’s issues is by conducting conferences. Read on to know some tips to conduct a successful conference and ideal gifts that should be given to participants.
Tips to Organize a Successful Women's Conference
Following are five tips that will help you in planning a successful women's conference.
The Conference Should be Based on a Specific Issue or Topic
Women’s issue is an umbrella term and consists of a myriad of considerations. One can conduct a conference on it but it will not be an effective one. Since women’s issue consists of a large number of individual topics, a conference on it would mean that the issues will be discussed perfunctorily. There would be no in-depth discussion and debates. The participants will not be able to learn anything more than they already know. Thus, the conference must focus on a particular women’s issue. For example, a conference on sexual crimes against women will be more effective than a conference on crimes against women in general.
Choose the Right Panelist
The right panel members can make a conference more cerebral and meaningful. Choose panellists who are directly related to the issue being discussed in the conference. If the issue being discussed is child brides then the ideal panelists would-be victims of child marriage who have fought against their predicament, child psychiatrists, respective law enforcement personnel and representatives of NGOs that raise awareness against such crimes.
Plan a Concise Event
We live in a time when almost any task can be performed in a few minutes thanks to massive technological advancements. This has made us more impatient and we generally do not bother with time consuming activities. Hence, it is important that the conference does not exceed 2 hours.
The Conference Must Focus on Solutions
A group of people coming together and discussing just problems has never amounted to anything and will never do so. Discussing problems is one half of the circle, the other half includes discussing probable solutions to those problems. So, make sure that your conference is not just about discussing issues but also what we can do to rectify them and change the situation.
Inclusion
One major complaint regarding such conferences is that they are not inclusive. They are designed and planned for a specific demography (upper-class, educated and financially privileged women). While not all women’s conferences are biased, most unfortunately are. If you want the conference to be successful then you must plan it in a way where all women irrespective of background, education and financial strength get to have a say.
10 Best Gift ideas for Women's Conference
A women’s conference (or any conference) should be concluded by the distribution of gifts among the participants. The gifts serve two purposes, number one is that they will remind the participants of the conference and the discussions that took place in it. This will make the conference more impactful. The second is that it makes the participants happy which encourages them to be more involved with such conferences. Follow this BP Guide to choose the best gift for a women’s conference.
