The voices of women in vulnerable countries must be heard and must be amplified at the international level. They play vital roles in their societies and economies. I pledge to make these voices heard and advocate strongly that safe and empowering environments must be put in place so that the future allows all girls, regardless of which country they are born in, to enjoy equal human rights and bright futures.

Listening is at the core of effective advocacy.
