每年三月的妇女历史月期间，包括美国在内的世界各国都会以各种形式来纪念和回顾女性对于社会和全球进步作出的重大贡献。妇女历史月也是一种行动呼吁，提醒我们要支持妇女运动，努力建立一个更加公平和公正的社会。尽管女性在各个领域已经取得了巨大成就，但从职场到社会文化领域，女性的进步空间仍然巨大。今年，联合国妇女历史月的主题是“平等思考、集思广益、创新变革”。今年二月，美国启动了由白宫领导的“妇女全球发展和繁荣”倡议。在这两大主题的影响下，我们邀请您到上海美国中心与来自美国、阿根廷、和比利时的女性外交官们进行一场坦诚又有启发性的对话。几位外交官将会讨论世界各地的国家、组织和人民是如何在促进性别平等和女性经济赋权问题上作出的创新努力。外交官Anum Malik将会主持整场讨论，她在上海美领馆公民社会工作小组负责女性议题。

Every March, during Women’s History Month, the United States and countries across the world commemorate and reflect on women’s contemporary and historical contributions to society and global progress. Women’s History Month also serves as a call to action to maintain momentum in support of women’s movements and to work towards a more fair and just society. While women have made tremendous gains, significant room for progress remains for women in the workplace, as entrepreneurs, and in cultural aspects. This year, the official United Nations theme for Women’s History Month is, “Think Equal, Build Smart, Innovate for Change.” This February, the United States launched the White House-led Women’s Global Development and Prosperity Initiative. With these two themes in mind, we invite you to the Shanghai American Center for a candid, illuminating, and engaging panel discussion with female diplomats from the U.S., Argentina, and Belgium. The honored panelists will discuss innovative ways that countries, organizations, and people around the world are accelerating gender equality and advancing women’s economic empowerment. Diplomat Anum Malik leads the U.S. Consulate General Shanghai’s Civil Society Working Group on women’s issues and will moderate the program.
