Women in the World Live Summit is live streaming all weekend!

  The 2012 Women in the World Summit is live streaming all weekend! It is an awe inspiring event! Enjoy!

 Newsweek & The Daily Beast editor-in-chief Tina Brown launched the 2012 Women in the World Summit in NYC on Thursday evening, stressing: "When it comes to the advancement of women and girls, people really, really want to step out.”

Ms. Brown vows to cover the world “from the unique perspective of women”—one still “so much ignored still in the boardrooms, courts and cabinets where the big decisions are made.”

“This is not a summit that defines women's issues as somehow divorced from all the other human and economic predicaments,” she said, like Sec. of State Hillary Clinton’s now famous declaration that “women’s rights are human rights.”

Brown also stressed the urgent need to speak out for women’s rights at this political and cultural moment. “In the two years past, the most searing moments of our gathering have been hearing the stories of some of the bravest people on our planet who have a hard time getting heard,” she said, and noted the “inconceivable sacrifices” these women have made for the “western freedoms we often take for granted.”

Brown also introduced the “formidable leaders of enduring change” who’ll bring their unique perspective and vision to the stage—including Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Christine Lagarde, Valerie Jarrett, Madeleine Albright, Gloria Steinem, Angelina Jolie, Janet Napolitano and many more—along with the lesser-known, amazingly brave trailblazers from Africa to Central America, who "don't make the headlines but live between the lines of news."
If you are looking to participate, this year’s summit has launched the Women in the World Foundation, under the guidance of Kim Azzarelli.

Enjoy!
