Organization of American States – Luis Almagro, Secretary-General
“Environmental destruction and an increased level of insecurity related to economic and climate-based shocks, these realities affect women disproportionately. They are the majority of the poor, the unemployed, those affected by national disasters, and other humanitarian emergencies … . We have made important strides through our work to strengthen the legal framework for women’s rights and gender equality. The Latin American and Caribbean region now showcases some of the strongest legal protection frameworks for women and girls in the world. Four months ago when I assumed the position of Secretary General … I was categorical and said that we would contribute to broadening the access of rights to more people in the Americas. My recurrent theme has been and will continue to be more rights for more people. From the perspective of women’s rights, we are still facing two major challenges. First, the limitations of the scope and reach of women’s rights. The Americas continue to have some of the most restrictive laws regarding sexual and reproductive rights and freedoms, and that reality has to change. … Thousands of women die [because of] illegal abortions every year in the Americas. We have to fix this kind of genocide. If women don’t enjoy their rights to life, their human rights to life, if women don’t have right to health and to access public health, then we are too far behind. … Then we can deal with other matters, like why women are still the most unemployed and their salaries are the lowest.”

Cuba: President Raúl Castro
“Today Cuban women’s life expectancy at birth is 80.45 years of age. The direct maternal mortality rate is…one of the lowest in the world. … They make up 66.8 per cent of the labour force…. Nevertheless, we still have much to do. We need to continue to work to change cultural patterns as to have men and women share the care of their family. We must continue increasing the number of women in decision-making positions in the government.”

Japan: Prime Minister Shinz? Abe
“Since I became Prime Minister of Japan, the fundamental pillar of my policy has been the realization of a society where women shine. As a result in the past three years more than 90,000 women have entered the Japanese labour market. We have set a goal that about 30 per cent of leadership positions…be occupied by women by 2020…already, the percentage of women among newly hired national public servants in Japan has exceeded 30 per cent. …Last month, Japan enacted a new law to promote the active engagement of women in society [so that it will become] commonplace for both men and women to share responsibility for work, household chores and child rearing. …Japan’s donation [to UN Women] has increased tenfold in the past two years… [and] a new UN Women liaison office was recently opened in Japan…. Japan has pledged to contribute more than 42 billion yen… in the next three years. Japan will continue to implement further actions and initiatives toward resolving challenges for gender equality, development and peace…”

#Womensphere #CreatingTheFuture
Alibaba Group Executive Chairman Jack Ma and UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka meet at the Business and Philanthropy Leaders’ Forum organized by UN Women on 26 September 2016 at UN Women headquarters in New York.
At the Forum, leading global companies and foundations committed millions in additional financing for gender equality
Achieving gender equality is fundamental to realizing the transformative promise of the historic 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals. But deep financing gaps for women and girls pose significant barriers to rapid progress.
Commitments at the Forum are aimed at closing these. They back a major global drive, championed by UN Women, to “Step It Up” for gender equality.
UN Women co-hosted the Forum with the Alibaba Group and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Jack Yun Ma, Executive Chair of the Alibaba Group; Melinda Gates, Co-Chair and Trustee of the Gates Foundation; and UN Under-Secretary-General and UN Women Executive Director Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka opened the event.

One of seven installations during the event Lights in Alingsås 2016 – the theme of the year is Enlightenment. It is based on the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed to by 193 world leaders. This installation is inspired by the goal "10 Reduced inequalities".
Workshop head: Jytte Basler, Germany & Carla Jardim, Brazil, Lighting designers at The Flaming Beacon Berlin.
Every year in september/october leading international lighting designers come to Alingsås to hold a week´s workshop with participants from all over the world. Together they light a number of buildings and locations around the town centre. Around 80 000 people come every year to see the designs during the month-long event.

African Union: Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Chairperson of the African Union
“In Africa, this is the year of women’s empowerment. We have just … adopted Agenda 2063, which is the Africa we want in line with our priorities … . Among those priorities is the education of girls … and the modernization of agriculture, because in Africa, 70 per cent of the people who work in agriculture are women. … [Another priority] is that women should be [involved] in business. It makes sense as a right, but also it makes economic sense that half the population of any country gets involved in developing the economy and developing the country. … Since Beijing, 22 countries in Africa have 30 per cent [or more] women in Parliament…There are other areas where progress has been made, but we think a lot more needs to be done. We have [initiated] a very strong campaign against child marriages … and human trafficking, [which] is like women’s slavery.”

Costa Rica: President Luis Guillermo Solis Rivera
"[We commit ourselves] to place at the centre of public policy the shared responsibility for caregiving as an engine for cultural change, expanding and diversifying its alternatives; to promote instruments that generate scientific evidence on gaps in gender data that result in barriers to [using] women’s talent; [to] create jobs through affirmative action for women through public/private partnerships; [to] establish job creation programmes with affirmative action…to benefit youth, women and persons with disabilities; [to] create and implement a seal of quality to check and certify gender equality in businesses and institutions; [to] guarantee the effective implementation of inspections in places of work; [to] work within the framework of the UN tirelessly together with our partners and elders and other groups that will facilitate this process; and [to] achieve the objective [that] would give content to the promises and commitments made here, which would be the election of a women as the next Secretary-General of the UN."

Fiji: Prime Minister Josaia Voreqe Bainimarama
"In the Pacific region, Fiji boasts a gender-responsive and socially inclusive Constitution. For the first time, Fiji has a female speaker of Parliament and…four women possess significant ministerial portfolios. Over the last seven years, the Government has increased funding to the national women’s machinery by some 320 per cent. [We] will continue… with adequate funding and human resources, to strengthen…[gender-disaggregated data] to better influence policies…. We have amended our criminal laws to make [them] modern and gender inclusive. Our family laws have also been amended [to] recognize the rights of women in de facto relationships, and to provide legal protection in terms of spousal maintenance and property rights. My government also introduced …[a] domestic violence law [that] allows any person to apply for [a] domestic violence restraining order. The police are legally obligated to enforce measures to promote the safety and well-being of victims of domestic violence, particularly women and children."
World leaders convene at the United Nations on 27 September 2015 for the “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” to personally commit to ending discrimination against women by 2030 and announce concrete and measurable actions to kick-start rapid change in their countries.

Viet Nam: President Truong Tan Sang
"Gender equality is not merely a goal but rather the common thread of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Viet Nam pledges to devote all resources needed to bridge the gender gap in all domains. Viet Nam will continue to step up awareness-raising campaigns on gender equality, and work hard to ensure that 100 per cent of its radio and television stations broadcast exclusive gender equality programmes…. The HeforShe movement has found strong resonance in Viet Nam. Viet Nam pledges to further improve the access of women, especially those in difficult areas, to health care, education and employment services. Viet Nam sets a target that by 2020, 50 per cent of its rural women will have access to various forms of vocational training, and 95 per cent of women aged 15-40 living in remote areas [will be] literate. The country is also committed to sparing no efforts to gradually eradicate all forms of violence against women and girls, and has set a target that at least 50 per cent of all the reported victims of domestic violence [are] provided with health care and counselling services."

Background
On 12 September 2015 hundreds of young people came together at the #YouthSummit in London to raise their voices about the future of their world.
September also sees the largest-ever gathering of world leaders at the United Nations in New York to sign up to new Global Goals that aim to eradicate poverty for good.
The Youth Summit gave young people a chance to get their voices heard on the global issues they care about. They have the power, commitment and energy to make sure the world delivers on promises made in New York.

Bhutan: Prime Minister Lyonchhen Tshering Tobgay
“I pledge my Government’s full commitment to the accelerated implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and to the realization of the gender equality goals of empowerment in the 2030 Agenda. More specifically, I recommit to support ongoing initiatives to increase representation of women in governance and decision-making at all levels. For this, we have commenced extensive nation-wide consultations to explore measures to encourage women’s participation in politics. We commit to strengthen targeted programmes for economic empowerment of women. This is critical to address the persistent burden of poverty on women and effectively remove inequality in economic structures and policies. We commit to enhance investment in programmes that ensure equal access to the critical areas of education and training and healthcare for women. We commit to render full support to agencies and civil society organizations that combat violence against women and girls and we commit to promote programmes and policies that strengthen the role of women in the management of natural resources and in the safeguarding of our environment.”
World leaders convene at the United Nations on 27 September 2015 for the “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” to personally commit to ending discrimination against women by 2030 and announce concrete and measurable actions to kick-start rapid change in their countries.

Guyana: President David Granger
“Guyana has long implemented legislative measures to ensure equitable access of women to the highest offices and to ensure that, at the level of the working class, women can enjoy equal wages for equal work. We seek to build a country in which women and girls can expect to live in safety, to be protected from abuse, such as trafficking in persons, domestic violence and workplace hazards. Guyana continues to make great strides towards achievement of the internationally agreed development goals and objectives relative to gender equality and empowerment of women, particularly in the areas of mainstreaming a gender perspective in policy development and programmes enhancing education and training opportunities for women and girls, [as well as] increasing the participation of women in leadership positions and decision-making circles. We wish to assert our full support for Goal number 5 of the Sustainable Development Goals.”

Zambia: President Edgar Chagwa Lungu
“It’s been 20 years since the Beijing Platform for Action, and now 15 years since the Millennium Declaration. While much has been accomplished, I believe a lot more remains to be done. I therefore wish to commit myself and the people of Zambia to ensuring that what remains to be done will truly be done…My Government is committed to addressing the persistent gender equalities and ensuring the empowerment of women in our pursuit of national development. While we have not had [large] numbers of women attaining elected legislative positions in my country, the Government has tried to compensate by having more women in strategic and top management positions…Violence against women and girls continues to be a problem…Zambia continues to fight this scourge…I’m proud to be a champion of HeForShe. Women’s economic empowerment is one area that requires investment, [such as through] the facilitation of access and control of resources such as land, and credit for small to medium businesses…with a bias towards women…Our vision of the government is to achieve full participation of men and women in decision-making processes. And [attain] sustainable development through gender equity and equality so that no one is left behind on account of sex, age, social or economic and health status.”

Tunisia: Prime Minister M. Habib Essid
"Women have been actively participating in political work. This is in addition to the 50 per cent quota in candidate lists in elections. In addition, we have enhanced the gender equality principle in all our laws and we have stressed the importance of protecting the gains for women’s empowerment and equal opportunities between men and women when it comes to taking responsibility in all walks of life. …Tunisia has made great achievements towards gender equality. This is evident in many indicators including the increase in the levels of female enrolment, and the benefits for women in terms of the services for training, and increasing women’s participation in all walks of life. All rights of women are enshrined in our Constitution and international conventions. This is a commitment by Tunisia and we are anxious to protect women so we could overcome all attempts against our modern society in Tunisia. Our experience in democratic transition recently is witness to the fact that women should be represented in all legislative bodies. Hence, we enhance women's ability to participate in politics and in public affairs. This is a commitment."

“Honduras has made significant inroads in the promotion of gender equality...we are improving living conditions and housing…Proactive state employment programs...have always been conducted in accordance with strict criteria for gender equality. We have announced a firm strategy to counter [increases in family violence and femicide], which we believe [is] having a great impact…. Honduras has implemented policies to combat crime and violence in general...we've seen therefore effects on the death rate among women.... I personally am interested in…implementing a policy for gender mainstreaming…. We have made [reducing maternal mortality] one of the main planks in the reform of our health system. And we're also looking at… [ensuring] gender mainstreaming in planning and effective operations….”

Samoa: Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi
"In Samoa…we are acutely aware that we must make every effort to develop and release the full potential of our women…We have already made important strides in…education as well as employment opportunities. Many…ministries are led by women…. Still, much remains to be done…Samoa is committed to mainstreaming policy on gender equality and the empowerment of our women across all sectors of government…. Given that climate change affects men and women differently, we have now integrated fully the needs of women and girls into our national climate resilience, disaster prevention and response policies and operations. ...In May 2015, salaries for village women representatives were raised to address [a] gender pay gap…. The Constitutional Amendment Act of 2013, which guarantees a minimum of 10 per cent of seats for women in our national parliament…[will make] women representatives…an integral and permanent feature of our parliament….

Thailand: Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha
"Recently, Thailand promulgated the 2015 Gender Equality Act, which became effective on 9 September 2015, so we can protect all individuals from gender-based discrimination. Thailand is resolved to move forward on gender equality in the following areas: First, by developing a curriculum on gender roles to cultivate positive attitudes and an acceptance of gender equality in children from an early age. Second, by collecting sex disaggregated data, for analytical purposes and for formulating gender-sensitive policies as well as for monitoring progress made in the realization of gender equality. Third, by providing training to relevant public agencies at the national level in order to promote gender-responsive budgeting. Thailand’s next national and economic and social development plan will also focus on people-centred, inclusive development, and also on reducing social inequality. This will provide further opportunities for women to participate even more equally in our national development."

"Women have to play a more prominent role in politics, in the economy, and in society. [We commit] ourselves to…launching an initiative to improve [women’s] professional qualifications in developing countries and…promote the entrepreneurial empowerment of women. In Germany too there is still room for improvement. … We've greatly enhanced the possibilities for child care and we finally have a law on women in leadership positions. We all committed ourselves in 1995 to implement the Beijing Platform for Action. Now we are making a new commitment with Sustainable Development Goal 5. Commitments are good. Action is better. Let us take action!"

“Slovenia is fully committed to…the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. We reaffirm the 2030 Agenda…where the implementation of each and every Sustainable Development Goal must include equal participation and equal enjoyment of rights for women and girls… Inequalities between women and men still exist, and no country is immune to this. We pledge and call on others to…further challenge traditional notions of masculinities, and traditional norms, laws, and practices that support them. We also believe that gender equality…requires active involvement of men and boys. This is why…ministers of my government and I joined the HeForShe campaign. Slovenia will continue to support and promote the role and responsibility of men and boys as allies and agents of change in the promotion of women’s and girls’ rights. For several years, Slovenia [has kept] the issue of violence against women and girls high on the political agenda, [making] significant progress in preventing and combatting violence. Recently we became party to the…Istanbul Convention. Slovenia has affirmed its commitment to foster gender equality…by adopting the national programme for equality between women and men by 2020.”

Argentina: President Cristina Fernandez
“In Argentina we have developed a strong process of social inclusion which has brought about more equal opportunities for women. We have active programmes and policies such as universal benefits for pregnancies, for children and education all the way up to university. This has made it possible together with gender equality laws to protect women. … Even in more developed societies, there continues to be gender inequality with respect to access to political decision-making. … We need to break cultural barriers which have considered women for centuries to be an inferior or less intelligent being. And that is why I think that policies must also be aimed at [transforming] culture, at empowering women not only as as a matter of obligation under conventions or international treaties, but that there be a deep conviction in the hearts of men and of women… to bring down taboos and prejudices against us. … In Argentina we have achieved a high degree of equality that should also be extended to youth and other sectors of society.”
World leaders convene at the United Nations on 27 September 2015 for the “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” to personally commit to ending discrimination against women by 2030 and announce concrete and measurable actions to kick-start rapid change in their countries.

November 7, 2016 | New York City
Womensphere’s Annual Fall Summit brought together over 200 diverse leaders and emerging leaders across sectors, including executives, professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, scientists, artists, student leaders, and leaders from civil society. Convened on the day before the 2016 US national elections, we were thrilled to be able to come together in celebration and strength, to share, discuss, ideate, and collaborate on creating the future to accelerate the advancement of women in all fields.
We were excited to honor Morgan Stanley Vice Chairman Carla Harris with the Womensphere Global Leadership Award for her powerful and creative vision, her longstanding commitment to empowering women and youth of color, and more than a dozen other great reasons. We were happy to bring together ground-breaking innovators, executives, educators, artists, and leaders creating change for women around the world – to launch some very important initiatives. The event offered a forum for sharing and co-designing global and local programs that accelerate the advancement of women and girls in America and around the world.
