According to BBC , she will be at the 28 October conference in London focusing on the power of women – those who have changed the world around them and inspired others to do the same – where she will be keynote speaker.
Among those joining Banda will be Prof Lesley Yellowlees, the first woman president of Britain’s Royal Society of Chemistry in its 171 year history.
Designers, doctors, businesswomen, human rights defenders, social aid activists, bloggers, footballers, economists, actresses, comedians, novelists, photographers and many others will also be taking part.
