Pernille Fenger
Director,
UNFPA Representation Office in Geneva
Gender equality is not a zero-sum game. Equal rights and opportunities for women and girls, and men and boys, as well as the full enjoyment of their rights to health and bodily autonomy, will benefit individuals, families, communities, and the entire society.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
Personal Commitments
Throughout 2026, I will support and actively mentor at least two young female professionals and students by facilitating their access to professional networks, speaking or participation opportunities, and visibility in international development, humanitarian, and human rights fora in Geneva.
Throughout 2026, I will advocate in intergovernmental and policy spaces to ensure that the rights and needs of women and girls, including sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), remain visible and prioritised. I will achieve this by convening at least two cross-sectoral exchanges with humanitarian, development, and human rights partners.
