Pioneering Steps Towards Gender Equality and Inclusivity with Yuriko Backes, Luxembourg Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity

In a recent podcast episode, I had the honor to sit down with the former Minister of Finance and current Minister of Defence, Minister for Mobility and Public Works and Minister for Gender Equality and Diversity in Luxembourg, Yuriko Backes. 

We started our conversation by discussing a transformative initiative that marked a significant milestone in the pursuit of gender equality—the Luxembourg Women in Finance Charter - we followed with important insights into her experiences and the broader efforts to promote gender equality. 

Some of the topics we covered include:

• The importance of embracing the diverse needs of the LGBTIQA+ community 
• The critical role of individuals, regardless of gender, in making a conscious effort to include diverse voices 
• Financial independence for women
• The fight against gender-based violence 
• Man allyship
• and much more!
