Achieving gender equality and women’s rights is the unfinished business of our time and the greatest human rights challenge in our world. Only by working together can we achieve the required gender-transformative change.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

By December 2027, I will champion at least two UN system exchanges, through our UN coordination mandate on GEWE, to advance the practical implementation of the International Gender Champions and UN system-wide Gender Equality Acceleration Plan and share lessons on effective gender-transformative change.
By December 2027, I will convene or support at least two Nairobi-based dialogues, bringing together Member States, UN entities and civil society partners to advance gender equality and inspire stronger collaboration across stakeholders.
