How can we measure feminist leadership principles?

At Women Deliver 2026, we’re hosting an interactive session exploring how feminist leadership can be meaningfully assessed and embedded in real-world decision-making.

Feminist leadership is often invoked — but rarely defined, assessed, or operationalised in a consistent way. In this session, we’ll explore:
• What feminist leadership looks like in practice
• How it can be measured and assessed
• What tools organisations can use to embed feminist principles into leadership and governance

Through a participatory fishbowl conversation and small group strategy circles, participants will help test and refine a draft assessment tool — contributing directly to a practical resource for the field.

Facilitated by:
Prof Kent Buse, Govindi Deerasinghe, Prof Sarah Hawkes, Ruby Love-Smith, and Dr Lynsey Robinson

Join us, bring your experience, and help shape the future of feminist leadership in practice.
