Breakout Session | Stage 1
Host: Women Rise for All
In April 2020, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General Amina J. Mohammed launched Women Rise for All to bring together influential women leaders from around the globe to share how their leadership is shaping the COVID-19 response and what it will take to build back better. Women Rise for All connects women from all sectors in recognition of front-line leadership that is winning against COVID-19 and is inspiring the action required to come out of the pandemic stronger as part of Decade of Action to reach the Sustainable Development Goals.
The Women Rise for All event will share highlights of the initiative and present messages from members of the Circle of Women Ambassadors to the United Nations.
Women Rise for All is supported by the United Nations Office for Partnerships, your global gateway to co-create UN partnerships to deliver the SDGs.
