* Further speakers to be announced.
A Hansard Society Democracy Forum to discuss how many women it takes to make a difference to politics, business and society. Is there a tipping point of 30%, or should we be aiming for 50% parity? Is it more important to address political and economical factors rather than focusing on quotas?
