Conference History
In February 2022, the 3rd Global Conference on Women’s Studies was held online with the participation of representatives from across the world. During these demanding and unpredictable times, once again WOMENSCONF was able to pull together a program of speakers and listeners to discuss the topic of Women’s studies. The conference featured two distinguished keynotes speakers, insightful presentations, thought-provoking storytelling presentations, and an impressive documentary screening. The conference was rich in content and covered a range of topics across the entire spectrum. The discussions were wide-ranging, with a number of questions from listeners.
