0:00

When the doors of equal opportunity are

0:02

open for women and girls, everyone wins.

0:06

Equal societies are more prosperous and

0:08

peaceful and the foundation of

0:10

sustainable development. On this

0:13

International Women's Day, we recognize

0:16

30 years of progress and achievement

0:18

since the landmark United Nations

0:20

Conference in Beijing.

0:22

This transformed the rights of women and

0:25

reaffirmed those rights as human rights.

0:30

Since then, women and girls have

0:32

shattered barriers, defied stereotypes,

0:35

and demanded their rightful place.

0:38

But we must be cleareyed about the

0:40

challenge. From push back to roll back,

0:43

women's human rights are under attack.

0:48

Age old horrors, violence,

0:50

discrimination, and economic inequality

0:53

still plague societies.

0:56

And newest threats such as biased

0:58

algorithms and programming inequalities

1:00

into online spaces opening up new arenas

1:03

of harassment and abuse.

1:06

Instead of mainstreaming equal rights,

1:08

we are seeing the mainstreaming of

1:10

misogyny.

1:12

We must fight these outrigides and keep

1:14

working to level the playing field for

1:16

women and girls.

1:20

We need action to unlock finance so

1:22

countries can invest in equality and to

1:25

prioritize those investments. Action to

1:27

open up equal opportunities for decent

1:29

work, close the gender pay gap, and

1:32

tackle challenges around care work.

1:35

Action to strengthen and implement laws

1:38

to end all forms of violence against

1:40

women and girls. Action to secure

1:43

women's full participation in decision-m

1:45

including in peace building and action

1:48

to remove the obstacles to women and

1:50

girls in the fields of science,

1:51

technology, engineering and mathematics.

1:54

The United Nations spect for the future

1:56

and the global digital compact offer

1:59

blueprints to guide these actions. When

2:01

women and girls can rise, we all thrive

2:05

together. Let's stand firm in making

2:07

rights, equality, and empowerment a

2:10

reality for all women and girls, for

2:12

everyone, everywhere.
