Human Rights
Gender equality: how do we turn rhetoric into reality?

From career-based discrimination to crushing poverty and violence, women’s rights are routinely violated on a daily basis. Violence causes more death and disability worldwide amongst women aged 15-44 than war, cancer, malaria and traffic accidents combined. Of all the illiterate adults in the world, two-thirds are women. Globally, women make up just 17% of parliamentarians and of FTSE 100 companies, only three have women CEOs.

The Human Rights Plenary Session will discuss how to improve the rights of
marginalised women and girls and explore ways to address the structural causes of gender inequality.

Half say the state is either slightly effective or not effective at all at upholding the rights of women and girls in their country.

88% say upholding the rights of women and girls is vital to progress in their country.
