Gender Equality - What Works? A Conversation with Professor Iris Bohnet

Check out our recorded session for a Commons Conversation with Professor Iris Bohnet.  We explored her award-winning book, What Works: Gender Equality by Design, and what this means for the United Nations.

Participants learned about:

Why gender equality is a moral and business imperative for organizations. 
Why unconscious bias holds us back, and the reasons why individual effort alone often isn’t enough. 
Ideas for evidence-based solutions to achieve gender equality through behavioral design and de-biasing organizations. 
What these solutions mean for a diverse environment like the United Nations.
