Power Within

This past year has been another year of severe challenges spanning every realm from the individual to global level. As societies adapt and evolve, achieving gender equity feels more complex and perhaps even farther from reach now than ever before.

For our fifth annual Women in Power Conference, we looked for power in new and different places. At the same time, we may have struggled to find power entirely, making us wonder-  where does power come from within each individual, be it a role, an experience, a phase of life, or a thought?

We propose that we find “Power Within” ourselves in many ways. It may lie within—and is not limited to—the Harvard Community, professional life, relationships, the body, and spirituality.

The Women in Power Conference 2022 is a space open for all and aims to elevate the voices of all genders in the pursuit. It focuses on all the incredible individuals of the Harvard Community and is not meant to be exclusively for women. As we curate different deeply personal stories and hope to shed light on potential sources of “Power Within,” we will celebrate the diversity and differences in our community to foster inclusive and meaningful dialogue.

We look forward to a conversation that is productive, inspiring, and healing for all those who advocate for women and gender equity, including men and individuals of other genders.
