OVERVIEW

Women political leaders from around the world convene at the WPL Global Summit 2017, entitled We

Can Do It! Iceland is the global champion of equality between women and men. The WPL Annual Global

Summit 2017 – titled, "We Can Do It!" – applauds the political action of Iceland, which demonstrates

that gender equality does not have to remain a theory, but can become reality. In this spirit, the WPL

Annual Global Summit provides the forum for exchange on best practices around the globe: of

leadership, legislation and political agenda-setting that creates results. The WPL Global Summit presents

a unique opportunity for participants to discuss global challenges, exchange best practice, and to take

part in political dialogue that reflects the influence and worldwide perspectives of today’s female

decision-makers. This year’s WPL Global Summit is co-hosted by the Government and the Parliament of

Iceland. Other partners are the Council of Women World Leaders (CWWL), Harvard University, the

Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations, and the World

Bank. WPL thanks its corporate supporters.

The venue of the WPL Global Summit 2017 is the Harpa Concert and Conference Centre in Reykjavik.

International Institutions such as the U.N. and the Council of Women World Leaders are an integral part

of the WPL Summit 2017.

WPL is pleased to welcome the Council of Women World Leaders, the network of women Presidents and Prime Ministers, to WPL. The Council will convene its members on the occasion of the WPL Global Summit.
