This workshop is uniquely positioned to lead this dialogue, drawing on the expertise and policy-oriented focus of three departments, the Department of Social Policy at LSE, the AXA Gender Lab at Bocconi, and NYU Abu Dhabi, that have been at the forefront of creating vibrant communities of gender researchers across Europe. By bringing together scholars, policymakers, and advocates, we aim to illuminate pathways for meaningful change and build a collective vision for a more equitable future.
