“We have to make sure that there really is a choice for all women to choose the lives that they want to lead.”

“It is time for governments at all levels, local, state, national, and multinational, to make commitments to translate words in deeds and put in place the policy frameworks necessary to facilitate the unhindered access of women to all opportunities.”

Susana Malcorra

President, Founder

“Either we do something, raise our voices, mobilize, in order to move forward and to once again bring the agenda to the multilateral system as a priority, as unfinished business, as an accelerator to peace and sustainable development, or we just will not live up to the expectations of so many women in the world.”
