Charlotte Stemmer
Head of Geneva Office and UN Representative,
Plan International

I believe that transforming gender and power relations, and the structures that underpin them, is critical to ending inequality. We must tackle intersecting systems of oppression to realise gender equality and to protect, promote and realise the rights of women and girls.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
I commit to engage with youth leaders, building relationships, sharing power and space, and creating opportunities for their voices and leadership in UN policy-making spaces. With my team, I will ensure we support young people to participate meaningfully in at least three global policy making spaces throughout 2025.
I commit to advocate for funding for feminist movements, meaningful youth engagement and girls’ leadership. In the face of drastic funding cuts across the sectors, which are hitting local actors the hardest, I will ensure to amplify the advocacy asks of women-led and youth-led organisations in international policy forums in Geneva.
