Registration

The Sasakawa Peace Foundation is pleased to invite you to attend a public panel discussion, with Co-founders of Mine the Gap from the United States, a prominent consultant company specializes in supporting gender-inclusive environment, Ms. Jessica N. Grounds and Ms. Kristin Haffert.
A day after Donald Trump was elected as the U.S. President, five million American women took to the streets and participated in the “Women’s March” to affirm their bold message of resistance and self-determination, which spread all around the world. Soon after, #MeToo movement became the global crusade against sexual harassment and assault, and is having a huge impact on American politics in the lead-up to the midterm elections.
With this background, we would like to discuss the impact of such women’s movement in politics in the era of Trump, and necessary actions that could promote gender equality in political sphere.
Ms. Kristin Haffert & Ms. Jessica N. Grounds Co-founder, Mine the Gap.
