Women in the World Summit 2013

Dedicated to spurring global change through sharing stories of courage, survival, and triumph, this year's Women in the World Summit is taking place in New York City on April 4th and 5th. The impressive lineup of speakers and performers includes Hillary Clinton, Meryl Streep, Dr. Hawa Abdi, Oprah Winfrey, and many more inspiring women and men from around the world. Topics range from fighting the scourge of human trafficking to inspiring girls to become world leaders to celebrating female pioneers in the tech sector. Tom Hanks is presenting a tribute to Nora Ephron.

Yahoo! Shine is livestreaming video from the conference on our special Women in the World events page and also presenting highlights.

The Women in the World Summit was launched by Tina Brown, editor-in-chief of The Daily Beast, in 2010 and is sponsored by The Daily Beast and Newsweek. "What's exhilarating since the first Women in the World Summit three years ago are the advances women have made, overlooked by our scurrying, insular media world," Brown remarked after last year's conference.

2013 highlights include:

    * Michaela DePrince, of the Dance Theater of Harlem, performing a ballet inspired by her childhood as an orphan in war torn Sierra Leone.
    * A tribute to one of the year's most courageous and inspiring young women, Malala Youfsafzai, by actress, filmmaker, and human rights activist Angelina Jolie.
    * Eyewitness accounts of the atrocities in Syria moderated by Barbara Walters.
    * A keynote speech by Hillary Clinton followed by a panel on the upcoming women innovators in tech moderated by her daughter, Chelsea Clinton.
    * A discussion with Ambassador Susan E. Rice on how 21st century threats are changing the nature of diplomacy.
    * Oprah Winfrey interviews one of her heroes, Dr. Tererai Trent, the Zimbabwean activist who is revolutionizing education for women and girls across Africa after being forbidden to attend school herself.
