Today, leadership matters worldwide. More than before, global crises such as epidemics, environmental problems, and social division have indicated importance of thinking about eminent leadership. On the other hand, SDGs have contributed to the future development of the global community. Regardless of the degree of a country’s development, each nation stands at the starting line in discussing the role of women’s leadership and quality education in overcoming problems associated with the global crises. However, the concept of women’s leadership is not yet well established. For this international symposium, we will examine how women’s leadership is conceptualized, developed, and put into practice, and how it needs to be modified. The important role that female leaders play in various social issues where female leadership is truly needed in such Asian countries as Thailand, the Philippines, South Korea, and Japan can offer new insights for Asian women’s leadership.
