The conference organizers are using a number of networking and user-friendly features offered by vFairs to encourage engagement amongst attendees.
Natasha Vattikonda, Manager of Research and Advocacy at the Mothers Matter Centre, says, "This conference offers the unique opportunity for us to mobilize as a global community of gender equality advocates to share our personal stories, amplify the experiences of those we serve, and highlight the strategies of resilience implemented to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19, which has disproportionately affected vulnerable women and mothers. The goal is to leverage this shared knowledge to create cross-collaborative partnerships that prioritize mothers at the centre of post-pandemic recovery strategies. As the catalyst for change within families, communities, and economies, the social and economic inclusion of mothers is imperative for sustainable and optimal 'build back'."
