Empowering women & girls

The context:

One of our main themes, the empowering of women and girls, is important not only as a matter of fairness but also because it is a pre-requisite for a just and prosperous society.

We know healthy, educated, and empowered women and girls are agents of change. By empowering women and girls, we unlock their potential to contribute to every aspect of life, fostering progress, and creating a more inclusive world for everyone. Women and girls are poised to be key drivers of progress and growth but they need to be empowered through equal rights and equal opportunities.

Empowering women in leadership roles and encouraging their active participation in political processes is essential for inclusive governance. When women have a seat at the decision-making table, their perspectives and experiences bring about more comprehensive and effective policies.

The promise of a world in which every woman and girl enjoys full gender equality, and where all legal, social and economic barriers to their empowerment have been removed, remains unfulfilled.  We champion the rights and aspirations of women and girls, for their empowerment is the key to unlocking the world’s true potential.

I hope the women of the world will awaken to the full sense of the influence which they can wield if they accept the responsibility which all power implies.”
