Thousands of people from around the world will head to Kigali this weekend to participate in one of the largest global multisectoral conferences to advance gender equality.
The 2023 Women Deliver conference will bring together activists, youth, researchers, civil society, policymakers, nonprofit organizations, the private and philanthropic sector, and multilateral organizations to discuss topics ranging from abortion access, gender-based violence, the impact of the climate crisis on women and girls, to elevating the voices of adolescent girls.
Organizers are expecting over 6,000 people to attend and over 200,000 people to tune in virtually. In-person capacity registration hit its limits — and spilled over to a waitlist that includes about 1,700 people.
