On January 18th, 2017, The International Republican Institute (IRI), in partnership with U.S. Embassy Bangkok organized the second of six sessions of “Young Women Lead!” (YWL!). YWL! is a program created to bring together promising Thai young women to participate in interactive workshops that explore the themes of women’s civic engagement and economic empowerment in Thailand.
The second session featured two amazing speakers: Olympics skeet shooter Sutiya Jiewchaloemmit and boxing promoter Pariyakorn Ratanasuban.
The next session will be a panel discussion with the female Ambassadors to Thailand from Canada and Bangladesh, along with the Ministry of Commerce Perm Sec of Thailand, and will be hosted by the U.S. Ambassador to Thailand, Glyn T. Davies.
