The promotion and protection of gender equality is one of the most effective ways to reduce poverty, combat discrimination, and build a more inclusive, peaceful, and prosperous world. Without the full participation, protection, and empowerment of women and girls, lasting peace, security, and economic stability will remain out of reach.

Ensuring that women and girls have the agency and self-determination they deserve is essential to building societies where everyone can thrive. This has been a core pillar of our work at the Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights, and it is why efforts such as the Rosenzweig Report remain so important in advancing equality and driving meaningful change.
