For the 2nd Annual Women's Equality Summit, The Passionistas Project is hosting a three-day event with live panels addressing areas of equality affecting women. Through relevant discussions, presentations and storytelling the summit creates a safe environment for individuals to have tough and vital conversations about prevalent gender issues, including AAPI and Jewish hate crimes, disability rights, transgender issues, financial equality, racial and ethnic disparities in pregnancy related death, ageism, mental health issues and more. Spreading awareness of critical components of equality not only empowers women to move forward to overcome obstacles to achieve their dreams but strive for a better, safer and more accessible world.

The event features a jam-packed lineup of artists, creators, activists and entrepreneurs sharing their knowledge to inspire women to continue following their passions and fight for equality for all. Additionally, The Passionistas Project will present the Passionistas Persist Humanitarian Award to comedian and actress Margaret Cho and Passionistas Persist Icon Award to scientist, conservationist and humanitarian Jane Goodall, recognizing these individuals who are working for the equality of all women.
