Women in Road Safety Network Workshop is an interactive session designed to connect, empower, and celebrate women working across all areas of road safety. Through shared experiences, collaborative discussions, and practical insights, participants will explore how to foster equity, adapt with elasticity in a changing sector, and lead the evolution of safer, more inclusive transport systems. We’ll be joined by a diverse panel of women leaders in road safety who will help unpack these issues and share their perspectives. Through networking activities, guest speakers, panel discussions, and small group interactions, this session emphasizes the importance of building supportive relationships that drive innovation and progress in road safety.
Join us for a popular and dynamic workshop to build connections, strengthen the network of women driving change in the field!
