Event Agenda 

Though China is perceived as not having many gender related problems, Julie will speak about disparities between men and women and the ways in which the UN tries to tackle these issues here, as well as how these gender issues affect the business world in China. This talk is not to be missed if you are interested in justice and societal trends and how gender inequality affects us all.
