Addressing gender inequality is not only a moral imperative but also a critical pathway to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, peace and prosperity for all. However, our efforts must be bolder and pursued with a greater sense of urgency, while ensuring the participation of everyone, women and men. As we mark the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action this year, it is an opportunity to reaffirm our commitment to these principles and accelerate our actions to bring about change for all.
I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.
I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
