Women Deliver 2016 Conference – the world’s largest global convening to focus on the health, rights and well-being of girls and women.
Building on the successes of Women Deliver’s three previous global gatherings – in London in 2007, in Washington in 2010 and in Kuala Lumpur in 2013 – the 2016 Conference will bring together world leaders, advocates, policymakers, journalists, young people, researchers and leaders of the private sector and civil society to showcase what it means and how it works when women and girls become the focus of development efforts.
Women Deliver 2016 is the largest gathering on girls’ and women’s health, rights, and wellbeing for more than a decade, and one of the first major global conferences following the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The focus of the conference:
- How to implement SDGs as they relate to girls and women, with a specific focus on health – in particular maternal, sexual, and reproductive health and rights – and the inter-connections with gender equality, education, environment, and economic empowerment.
