is worth fighting for women are the

embedment of Hope and possibility they

are Delight that'll guide us in reaching

a more sustainable peaceful and just

World women women women women women

[Music]

for why has gender inequality been a

question to begin

with gender inequality affects all of us

we look around tables and we are fewer

and fewer women only with the inclusion

of women and girls it's possible to

bring societies forward we don't have a

lot of support when it comes to child

care Financial Security education every

day women are are held back by

structural discrimination and we need to

ensure that we push forward for gender

[Music]

equality when we talk about we the women

this is about Community this is about

bringing the world with

[Music]

us we have to focus on having our women

in leadership so they can actually move

that needle toward towards those

promises that were made when women lead

with redefined boundaries set new

standards and Inspire inclusive

transformational changes women are in

the Forefront of

[Music]

change my whole perspective on life

society and livelihood I've changed

because I got an education something in

me said no that's not enough I want to

go all the

[Music]

way and I wish it was the same for other

countries I mean there are countries

where women are forcefully taken out of

educational institutes they're not

allowed it should become a global goal

access to education should be available

to

all ch care is still an issue proper

access to education is an issue like you

name it there are still issues that

existed 30 years ago that I'm facing

those changes only happen the

collaboration only happens when we see

each other at the table and when we can

see and understand the differences that

we all have and the lived experiences

that bring us together to shape the

things that we want to see

happen education itself is a pipeline

into

leadership education is not just

literacy and

numeracy this is a

Birthright quality education makes

critical thinkers creative

thinkers I come from a country that has

been in internal conflict for so many

years 50 years of war in Colombia and

you see how a lot of the violence is

specific to

women sexual violence losing your kids

seeing your husbands killed in

conflict and I was also present there

when we signed the peace agreement that

was

historic peace Justice strong

institutions those three come together

all the time in we women survey 38% of

women said that peace Justice and strong

institutions are one of the top

priorities to live in a safe

country we are striving for peace

whether we know it or not this is the

thing that connects all of us when we're

thinking about ways to connect the

collective and us as a Humanity this is

a great place to

start without peace you don't have

infrastructure and that means access to

a better health to a better education to

a better social economical life peace is

related to all of these areas of

life if women are feeling insecure about

their ability to escape their current

situation due to economic constraints it

will compromise their ability to take a

leadership position that could lead to

something

[Music]

more having Financial Security leads to

agency and the ability to make choice

the largest subcategory within climate

change that came back as a concern was

the extent to which it would impact

health and

wellness the survey reflects that one of

the concerns of women it's about mental

health almost half the women said it is

a barrier for them to fully live the

life in their own terms if we look at

the African continent if if anybody

complains about being depressed for

example it is treated not as an illness

it is swept under the cupet and it does

not get the right

attention we suffer from a lot of issues

s image issues postnatal depression

issues that people don't understand and

it is just disregarded we tend to have a

heavier burden we take care of people

take care of children we give birth so

these things have negative effects if it

is not dealt properly

breaking the stigma of mental health

starts with a single conversation one

that encourages openness understanding

and creates a safe

space without a healthy

Nation you will not have a healthy

mother father a good

Workforce take care of health of your

citizens and then the rest of Po peace

comes from within my mental health is

the center I can live a life I enjoy

when women have access to health

education and Justice they will become

[Music]

Unstoppable all of us together moving

forward in the creation of a better

world where everybody wins

[Music]

women as decision makers is a

necessity we don't have enough women at

the top it is so important that we are

making and shaping decisions because

those decisions affect us how many women

do we have as presidents or prime

ministers but it is not just those

positions that we need to hold what is

unique about the way women lead they are

more passionate have more empathy they

see the value of Peace women decision

makers make decisions for everyone they

bring their perspectives they bring

their lived experience they bring

totally different skill sets to the

table and do it in a lens where they're

taking into account so many different

parts of their Community 85% of women

see themselves as advocates and act as

advocates the present order of G

inequality will shift

[Music]

dramatically as we start to think about

how we can leverage with AI but we're

really trying to create a stronger

future and our livelihoods depend on

it more than twice as many women see

artificial intelligence as an

opportunity compared to a threat women

in leadership roles are

disproportionately impacted online it's

really scary great technology can be

used as a tool and a weapon we see that

women are facing so much more hardships

online being targeted with deep fakes

Miss and disinformation or you know

other AI generated content everyone has

a role to play in helping to safeguard

and put in safety braks for those issues

but one of the things that makes me

hopeful maybe we use it to solve some of

these challenging issues that we've

faced for I don't even know how long in

the survey we see how women around the

world are paying attention to this

specific Tech Tool how to get their

hands on this Tech because it is going

to change the world and I think we

should be able to participate in that

change I think it's really important now

that we listen to the voices of women

think of the people who have paved the

ways for us we need the power the

knowledge the innovative ideas of women

before us I find inspiration from the

women of my family I'm half Afghan and

half Moroccan and I grew up with very

strong Afghan women surrounding me and

so I was blessed with having two

different perspectives in my household

as I stand on the shoulders of many

women before me now is the time for that

intergenerational discussion to happen

it will be worthwhile young women doing

that today and hopefully they won't

carry the baggage of my generation

there's a positive wind

flowing I hope that our message gets to

you and that this is not just another

survey you look at but a survey we act

on of course I wonder what is this for

and hopefully it becomes something

tangible in the world real policies real

actions real organizing of people

changing the world from the better think

globally and act locally think about the

world in general do the best we can at

our own level change only comes when we

collectively come together work together

there's Solutions and those Solutions

can turn into action wake up wake up

let's wake up all of this work all of

this

advocacy is because equality and justice

[Music]

matter I feel optimistic and apparently

I'm not the only one the survey has

found the women around the world are

hopeful when women rise so does

hope my we the women first started with

my mother and four sisters and I have

four daughters and I have two

granddaughters I am surrounded by women

that's what's being sustainable in this

whole journey that if I am to fall I

know that women will catch me when we

listen to women around the world we

understand what the real issues on the

ground are but we also learn about the

ways we can solve them societies who are

more equal societies to bring women

forward they are much more successful

and as we look to the Future it is we

the women that will provide that space

that imagination that inspiration that

can do the solutions to finding our path
