Gender equality will never be achieved through rhetoric; it demands structural disruption: equal power in decision making, equitable resources for woman's economic infrastructure and uncompromising accountability to enforce rights. Gender equality is not optional; it is the cornerstone of our shared prosperity, peace and self-reliance. And in times of regression, we must rise together as artisans of equality, shaping justice with compassion and forging accountability with courage and determination. Gender equality is ultimately about justice in opportunities.
