For the African woman who refuses to be sidelined from leadership and change-making roles…

Join 500+ Visionary Women Leaders LIVE for 4 Days and learn how to bridge the gender leadership gap across Africa.

If you're ready to drive meaningful change and create an impact in your environment, Join us in Kenya as we finally break down barriers limiting women in Leadership role.

On September 4, 1995, the United Nations held the Fourth World Conference on Women, popularly referred to as the Beijing 1995 Conference.

This conference was a landmark event in the global effort to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment.

It brought together thousands of delegates, including representatives from 189 governments, as well as numerous non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and activists from around the world.

Next year will mark 30 years since the Beijing Conference, and we are not close to achieving the goal of the Beijing 1995 conference.

For nearly 30 years,

we’ve waited to achieve the promises made at the historic Beijing 1995 Conference, where the world committed to having at least 30% of leadership roles filled by women by now.

But let’s be honest—we’re far from that goal, and it’s even worse for women in Africa.

Hundreds of leadership conferences have been held across the continent, with too much talk and far too little action.

We need a new approach, a new mindset, and most importantly—real action.

And that’s exactly what we’ll be doing at…
The Audacity Conference

Special Guest of Honour:

H.E Dr. Ida Odinga

Her advocacy for women’s rights spans several decades. In 1991, she founded the League of Kenyan Women Voters, a movement aimed at increasing women’s participation in politics and leadership. She has also championed healthcare initiatives, including breast cancer awareness and fistula prevention campaigns, and has mentored countless young women through her various roles.

Dr. Ida Odinga’s commitment to social justice extends to legislative advocacy. In 2019, she was a vocal supporter of the Gender Bill, which sought to ensure greater representation of women in Kenya’s parliament, though the bill did not pass. Her influence, however, continues to be felt across various sectors of Kenyan society, from education and healthcare to political reform.

Her numerous contributions to Kenyan society have earned her several accolades, including the prestigious Elder of the Order of the Golden Heart, one of the highest civilian honors in Kenya. Her legacy as a champion for women’s rights, education, and health remains a beacon of empowerment for women and young girls across Kenya and beyond
