Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka commended the UAE for creating a space that will allow millions of visitors to learn about the important roles women play around the world, while being aware of the hurdles they still face on a daily basis.

“These challenges cannot be solved by governments alone, but through meaningful and substantive collaborations with the private sector, civil societies and committed individuals. The Women’s Pavilion, in collaboration with Cartier, is setting a needed standard for corporations to rethink their approach to gender advocacy – and is a powerful platform to cascade the gender equality message to the world,” the UN Women chief said.

The Women’s Pavilion will take visitors on an enlightening journey showcasing male and female contributors to women’s empowerment and gender equality. Additionally, it will highlight important milestones for women’s rights.

While talking about the area designed to foster dialogue among a diverse community of artists, scientists, thought leaders, politicians, entrepreneurs, business leaders and more, Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy said, “The Women’s Pavilion highlights the crucial roles that women have long played as linchpins of their communities and drivers of economies.” The UAE Minister of State for International Cooperation and Director General of Expo 2020 Dubai Bureau added that it highlights the unparalleled event’s “commitment to empowering all women to drive their own development and create a better future for us all.”
