Women Leading Lawmaking in China

The Global Women’s Leadership Initiative at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in partnership with the Wellesley Centers for Women at Wellesley College is delighted to launch Women Leading Lawmaking in China, a critical collection of papers by China’s leading gender and law experts, a network of experts brought together under the auspices of the Ford Foundation, Beijing. This compendium of papers highlights emerging challenges to gender equality in China and is an important contribution to legal research and gender analysis in China and other countries undergoing legal system reform.

Women in Democratic Transitions in the MENA Region

The Rabat Conference in November 2012 was hosted by the Moroccan Ministry of the Interior in partnership with the Global Women’s Leadership Initiative at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Wellesley Centers for Women with support from Lynn and Bob Johnston. UN Women, UNDP, and the International Republican Institute provided valuable collaboration. Through this compilation of papers based on discussions at the conference, we celebrate the call for women’s centrality in the constitutional making processes and the negotiation processes involved in strengthening the rule of law in the MENA region.

Council of Women World Leaders

In 2011, the Council of Women World Leaders became part of the Wilson Center at its initiative. Over time, the Council felt that it required greater independence than was possible as part of the Global Women’s Leadership Initiative at the Center. As of April 5, 2013, the Council is no longer part of the Wilson Center but looks forward to partnering with the Center on programming promoting women’s leadership. The Council thanks the Wilson Center for its continued commitment to global women’s leadership.
