Building on this ambition, the Spotlight Initiative side event, held during the Summit of the Future Action Days, aims to showcase the Initiative’s impact, secure commitments from new partners, and mobilize additional political and financial resources, to ensure Spotlight Initiative, and the wider ending violence against women and girls agenda, are resourced to respond to critical needs and stimulate progress across all Sustainable Development Goals.
