To mark International Women’s Day 2014, Jimmy Carter, Hina Jilani and Desmond Tutu will answer questions in The Elders’ first ever live Twitter chat.

We have seen huge progress towards gender equality in the Elders’ lifetimes; yet there is no country where women and men enjoy equal rights. What’s holding us back? How can religion – so often misused to oppress girls and women – become a force for positive change? And what can men and women around the world do to advance women’s equality?

Join Jimmy Carter, Hina Jilani and Desmond Tutu – three Elders on three different continents – for our first ever live Twitter Q&A.

Tweet your questions @TheElders now using #askElders – and visit our Twitter page from 2-2.30pm GMT, Thursday 6 March for the live event!
