While many nations have had female presidents or prime ministers, the U.S. has yet to achieve this. Why not? What can be done to change this? Join us for a screening of the important and thought provoking film “Madame Presidenta: Why Not U.S.?“, followed by a discussion moderated by Linda Wayner, Executive Director of Bickel & Brewer Latino Institute for Human Rights, featuring Heather Arnet, Chief Executive Officer at Women and Girls Foundation and director of the documentary, Patricia Gatling, Deputy Secretary for Civil Rights of the State of New York, and Beverly Cooper Neufeld, President, BCN Consulting Group LLC.

NYWBA’s International Human Rights Committee is proud to host this event in honor of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
