The first step in this project has already been taken. We look forward to online lectures on Russian modern art from the General Director of the TretjakowGallery, Mrs. Zemfira Tregulova. She has prepared very interesting and exciting material for the AKBS. PGS: What are your views on ‘Gender Empowerment’?
www.powerhouseglobalstars.com
POM: I am very pleased that we are discussing women empowerment, one of the most important topics of the society. This topic is really close to my heart. Women make an enormous contribution to the economy - as entrepreneurs, farm workers, business employees or housekeepers. Today women still do not have equal opportunities in the Labor market, mainly in leadership positions in comparison to men. The Society still has to make a lot of efforts to develop a fair and sustainable economy. In the conference in Frankfurt am Main, I took part as a guest speaker in the panel discussion “Gender empowerment”. Balancing economic opportunities between men and women, equal access for men and women to resources, technologies, information and capital can lead to high economic growth. To the same topic I gave a speech at the world Life Webinar, in which 148 speakers from 47 countries of the world took part.

A modern educational approach with the basis of traditional education, the possibility of personalized learning, gives the possibilities of each highly qualified workforce. In my opinion, leaders urgently need to revise the established model in all sectors of the economy and introduce new technologies with massive digitalization.

Powerful Global Women Foundation (Powerhouse Charity) was founded in 20l6 in Nigeria, West Africa, by Lady Anita Duckworth-Bradshaw. The core objective of this organization is to transform the lives of women and children, through various projects centred around the need of the service group. In 20l6 Lady Anita single handedly fed over 400 children as part of “project feed l000 children globally”, and held an empowerment conference for the women. Through this project, so many women have gone to do great things with the knowledge they gained from the event. She recently held a life transforming event for women in Lagos, Nigeria as part of International women’s month celebration 20l8. The turnout was very encouraging. She is working towards supporting more families to keep their children and wards in school through” project back-to-school” starting in September 20l8. We are seeking for global support from individuals and organisations who would love to be a part of this service to humanity.
