The fourth Women Deliver Conference came to a close with a focus on solutions to make sure girls and women are at the center of efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) globally and at the country level.
During the closing ceremony, U.S. Presidential Candidate and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton called on leaders to prioritize the health and rights of girls and women. Secretary Clinton cited progress made since the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 and commended Women Deliver for “bringing in new voices and lifting up the next generation of leaders” to help achieve gender equality.
At least 5,500 people including world leaders, advocates, policymakers, youths, and civil society of over 160 countries convened at the largest ever global meet focusing on health, rights, and the well-being of girls and women.
