Let’s speak up and stand up together for everyday gender equality. Let’s everyday champion the unleashing of colossal, untapped, creative potential of women and girls. This can and must be done. Because championing and chasing the gender equality is moral and right. And the essence of human rights and dignity. But also irreplaceable and vital transformative power in building more peaceful, fair, just, and sustainable societies. In championing a world that delivers for all humanity. For this to happen, we need both women and men, girls and boys. And above all, we need informed, educated and networked women to work together, because the sky is the limit for what they can achieve then. To that, our group of female ambassadors and leaders of international settings here in Geneva - known as the ‘’Band of Sisters’’- is exemplary.
