This side event aims to build on the recommendations of previous UN Civil Society Conferences to harness the power of women’s leadership and voices in driving sustainable solutions for our shared future. By integrating women’s perspectives into the global dialogue on multilateralism, the conference will address critical gaps in achieving gender equality, focusing on eradicating poverty, bolstering institutions, and ensuring gender-responsive financing.

The discussion will culminate with the generation of innovative solutions and best practices toward drafting actionable recommendations for the draft Outcome Document of the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference and the Zero Draft of Pact of the Summit of the Future, emphasizing the critical role of women’s leadership in shaping a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable world. These recommendations will be aimed at policymakers, international organizations, and civil society, urging them to integrate young women’s voices and solutions into their agendas for global progress.
