It is essential for women to be financially empowered. It is possible for women to achieve autonomy, financial access and become leaders by enhancing and increasing their own potential to reach a position which enables them to make their own decisions." said Rekha Gupta, the Chief Minister of Delhi, at the inaugural lecture of the Women's Leadership Series titled 'From Access to Autonomy - The Impact of Financial Independence on Women Leadership'.

The event also included Georgia Varisco, Chief of YuWaah at UNICEF, as a distinguished speaker and Vaishnavi Jain, Global Woman Foundation (GWF). The lecture was organised as part of the Women's Leadership Series by the Global Woman Foundation in partnership with O.P. Jindal Global University and the Centre for Advancing Research in Management & Law (CARML).

O.P. Jindal Global University (JGU) and the Global Women Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at advancing academic collaboration, research, and leadership opportunities for women. This strategic partnership is designed to foster the exchange of research personnel, facilitate live projects, provide student internships, and organize joint conferences, symposiums, and workshops. By combining JGU's global academic reach with the Global Women Foundation's commitment to women's empowerment, the collaboration seeks to create a dynamic platform for innovation, leadership training, and cross-sectoral dialogue. The partnership will also see the organization of high-impact conferences and symposiums, bringing together thought leaders, policymakers, and industry experts to discuss pressing issues and share best practices. Workshops and leadership series events, such as this inaugural lecture, will provide ongoing opportunities for capacity building and mentorship, focusing on nurturing the next generation of women leaders.
