I would like to express our sincere thanks to all participants. We are proud to have brought together an incredible international community of leaders, experts and change-makers! We are also grateful for all our partners without whom this event would not have been possible. 
 
We were thrilled by all the insightful conversations around our 3 pillars : climate, health and peace. They have inspired all of us to continue our efforts in the fight for a more inclusive and equitable world. 
 
Yet, a long journey is still ahead of us. A few weeks ago, I met Mahnaz Shirali, an Iranian political scientist who is committed to freedom and who now lives in France because her life is threatened. Mahnaz showed me some of the schoolbooks used in Iran today which show strong stereotypes such as the fact that it is supposedly better to be born a boy than a girl or that education can wait but not marriage.

Given theses circumstances, the Women's Forum commits itself to ensure that all educational systems are levers for equality throughout the world: a school textbook that does not educate for equality is a child who will not grow up with the essential values we defend. Let's #ChangeEducationEducateforChange!"

ABOUT VITAL VOICES Now celebrating 25 years, Vital Voices Global Partnership has directly invested in more than 20,000 women leaders across 184 countries and territories since its inception in 1997. Driven by the universal truth that women are the key to progress in their communities and nations cannot move forward without women in leadership positions, Vital Voices has provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, U.S. Youth Poet Laureates, prime ministers, award-winning innovators, pioneering human rights defenders, and breakthrough social entrepreneurs, including Amanda Gorman and Malala Yousafzai. In an effort to advance and expand this work, in 2022 Vital Voices opened the doors to the world’s first global embassy for women, the Vital Voices Global Headquarters for Women’s Leadership. It is a first-of-its-kind space that allows for convening, innovation, planning, and action—all in the pursuit of serving women leaders who are taking on the world’s greatest challenges."
