The Women in Leadership project was born out of the vision of its three founders, who are academics in the Department of Law, at the University of Mauritius. They wanted to create a platform and safe space for effective discussions, awareness, research and implementation of gender focused initiatives and measures at the University of Mauritius and beyond. Through the organisation of workshops, film and documentary screenings, public discussions, and research on gender equity and equality, the project is focused on encouraging gender representation at all levels of decision making in the public and private sector in Mauritius
The first event to launch the project was the hosting of a Women in Leadership Workshop in April 2018, which brought together 8 women leaders in Mauritius recounting their journeys in different professions. The event was attended by 100 students from the Law Department at the University of Mauritius.
