Michelle Bachelet, first ever Executive Director of UN Women and former President of Chile will speak at the Kapuscinski development lecture in Dublin on women's empowerment and role of gender equality in implementation of the current Millennium Development Goals as well as in the process of setting new, post 2015 global goals.

LIVE webcast at 6:30pm GMT / 7:30pm CET on 21st February 2013.

The lack of trust in leaders and the urgent challenges of poverty, inequality, conflict and climate change demand a new model of leadership and development. The 21st century is the time for inclusion and women’s full and equal participation. An effective post-2015 development agenda requires a focus on promoting human rights, ensuring public participation and tackling structural inequalities.
