The Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, Sri Lanka (FNF) and NextGenSL — Sri Lanka’s only cross-party youth political platform — have organised this event to ensure that women are given a platform to shape the future of Sri Lanka. “Although women are a majority in Sri Lanka, making 52% of the population, they have been historically subjugated by a patriarchal system that has hindered their social progress. We, as Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF) are deeply committed to doing our part to help Sri Lanka address this pertinent issue,” he emphasised. “Towards this end, we have carried out a number of initiatives since our establishment in Sri Lanka. iLead is another initiative through which we feature highly-accomplished women who are able to shape Sri Lanka’s future,” he added.
