President, Open Society Foundations. Pursuing philanthropy grounded in critical thinking, local knowledge, and risk-taking, to advance human rights, equity, and justice.
Women’s leadership can deliver meaningful change. Women are at the heart of many liberation movements, as I emphasized in my recent lecture in Mexico City: https://lnkd.in/eb4R2w9a Women bring unique experiences to policymaking, creating greater political inclusivity, placing stronger protection for human rights, and improving overall economic performance. Women’s leadership is driven from the ground up, from women on the frontlines of change in local communities to the election of Claudia Sheinbaum as Mexico's first woman president. The same day she took the highest office of the land, I was proud to become the first woman ever to lead the Open Society Foundations. At Open Society, our work centers communities that have long been marginalized and excluded but bear the great consequences for systemic crises. In many of these communities, women and youth are key drivers of change. We’re proud to partner with and support these movements so that all people can thrive in an open society. #OpenSociety #Inequality #Democracy #HumanRights

Well said
Looking forward to reading
Yes, women representation plus feminist principles & strategies to achieve a systemic change where inclusion, diversity and equality are essential for value creation.
We remain hopeful that efforts to engage, support and elect women into leadership positions in Haiti are successful- soon.
Great 👍
Such a powerful reminder that women’s leadership is not only about representation, but about creating real change for communities. Exciting to see both grassroots and global orgs centering women’s voices to spark change that benefits everyone.
