Will we witness a commitment to action to overcome gender equality gaps?

At a high-level “Global Leaders’ Meeting on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment: A Commitment to Action” event on 27 September, over 70 world leaders are expected to make concrete commitments and firm pledges to overcome gender equality gaps.

It is to be a historic and a unique opportunity: for the first time at the UN, commitments to women and girls will be made at the level of heads of states and government.
