Shadow ambassador scheme for women leadership
Four women ambassadors in Dhaka today highlighted the “shadow ambassador” initiative as a scheme to promote women leadership.
The joint press conference was participated by Marcia Bernicat, US envoy to Dhaka, Ambassador Hanne Fugl Eskjær of the Denmark embassy, Ambassador Wanja Campos Da Nobrega of the Brazilian embassy, and Ambassador Leoni Cuelenaere of the Netherlands embassy.
Titled “Shadow Ambassador Initiative to Promote Young Women’s Leadership”, the press conference was held at the American Club in the capital.
The initiative paired each Ambassador with a young Bangladeshi woman who was selected to “shadow” the respective ambassador for a day to learn about pathways to leadership and the value of choosing a career of service.
The Ambassadors and the “Shadow Ambassadors” shared their experiences as mentors and mentees, and discussed how the initiative is helping promote young women’s leadership.
