Accelerating Spotlight Initiative's high-impact effort to end violence against women and girls
The draft Pact for the Future, which underpins the Summit of the Future, recognizes the need to “promote gender equality and empower and protect all women and girls as essential prerequisites to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.” This includes taking “targeted and accelerated action to eliminate all forms of violence against all women and girls.”
This high-level event will bring together a range of leaders and partners to secure commitments that ensure the wider ending violence against women and girls agenda is adequately resourced to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
