Sharing a fractured world


MOST eyes are on Davos this week, with world leaders and experts from many fields having gathered there for the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual meeting. While I do not have the resources to be there in person, I was able to be “present” for the panel discussions, thanks to live-streaming tech­nology.

This year’s meeting created history by having only women as its co-chairs. Despite this apparent progress for a forum oft criticised as a playground exclusive for wealthy, powerful men, the effect did not trickle down to the panellists. Typically, a panel was still made up of a token woman surrounded by men.
