António Guterres
Secretary-General, United Nations
Women's equality and women's rights are not negotiable. Let women shine and shape their societies. 50:50 in parliaments and everywhere.
Brigitte Brenner
Ambassador, Permanent Observer of the IPU to the UN and other International Organizations in Vienna, Inter-Parliamentary Union
Gender equality and women’s rights are issues close to my heart. For us to effectively tackle problems of today and the future, we must ensure that women have a seat at the table.
Jaya Ratnam
Ambassador, Permanent Representative, Permanent Mission of the Republic of Singapore to the United Nations Offices in Geneva and Vienna
Achieving gender equality is a movement – not a moment. It’s not women who need to be fixed. It’s not people that need to be fixed.
Carlien Scheele
Director, European Institute for Gender Equality
Valuable work on gender, equity, human rights and social determinants of health is extremely important to our mission.
Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
Director-General, World Health Organization
Children and young people constitute half of the world’s population, yet they are often overlooked in decision-making processes.
Louise Thivant
Executive Director, Child and Youth Friendly Governance Project
Gender equality is not just a goal; it's a fundamental principle that should seamlessly integrate into every program and initiative. It adds immense value and should be a natural requirement, not a question.
Chege Ngugi
Africa Regional Director, ChildFund International
