Fighting gender inequality in cities: Lessons from women in leadership

International Women's Day on 8 March is particularly important this year, as COVID-19 threatens decades of progress towards gender equality. In this tale of two different cities, and in association with the OECD Champion Mayors initiative, Karina Piser talks to Mayor Lisa Helps of Victoria, British Columbia in Canada, and Diana Rodriguez Franco, the Secretary of Women's Issues in Bogotá, Colombia, about the challenges they face, the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and the progress they have made in the fight against discrimination. They explain how women in leadership make a difference.
