The Human Trust and Dionysus Health Present: 'The Future is Hers: Investing in Women's Health' Luncheon at the Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations

NEW YORK, September 10, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Human Trust and Dionysus Health announce a special luncheon focused on "The Future Is Hers: Investing in Women's Health," to be held on September 17, 2024, at the Delegates Dining Room at the United Nations. This high-profile event will bring together leading voices in mental health, technology, and entrepreneurship to address critical issues affecting women's health worldwide.

Jesse Draper, founder of Halogen Ventures, will deliver the keynote address. As a pioneering investor and advocate for women in technology, Draper will share insights on the intersection of women's entrepreneurial pursuits and mental health, emphasizing the importance of supporting women-led businesses.

Dr. Vivienne Ming, a renowned neuroscientist and entrepreneur, will speak on the challenges and opportunities in addressing postpartum depression, providing evidence-based strategies for improving maternal mental health.

Dr. Andrea Cubitt, a leading researcher in women's health, will tackle pressing issues within the world of women's mental well-being and the need for robust protections.

As the Permanent Representative of the Bahamas at the United Nations, distinguished diplomat Stan Smith will deliver the closing remarks at this luncheon discussing gender equality and the need to empower women. 

“Today, more than ever before, technologies like AI are opening up new possibilities to transform women’s health and drive towards gender equality,” stated Andrea Cubitt, CEO & co-founder at Dionysus. “At the same time, we need to open a much more vigorous dialog and create a real sense of urgency to address the increasing threat of AI to facilitate technology-mediated harassment targeted to women and vulnerable minority groups. These approaches are being used to discourage women from running for office and can create very real mental health hazards for female leaders around the world. We hope that this kick-off meeting will be a watershed moment to align the efforts of responsible corporations, investors and philanthropists to come together to start to create a moment to fight back.”
