Tech, multilateralism, and gender equality: how do they intersect? 👩🏽‍💻

AI must be integrated into feminist and development agendas. The real challenge is how we engage with them responsibly.

At COP30, it became impossible to ignore the voices missing from the negotiation halls.

Those of us working on gender and climate could see how little space was given to the daily experiences of girls and women, from unpaid care and loss of income to rising risks of gender-based violence and disrupted access to sexual and reproductive health care. Every year at COP, it feels like we must speak louder to ensure these experiences are not forgotten.

🌎 #COP30 reminded us who protects the planet, who pays the price, and who is still fighting to be heard.

As we move toward #WD2026 in Naarm (Melbourne), we carry these stories, these struggles, and this urgency with us.

🌍 From youth-led advocacy to action-planning sessions and Feminist Playbook consultations, the African Regional Convening toward #WD2026, led by Sonke Gender Justice, brought together bold voices shaping the future of #SRHR across Africa. Learn more 👉 womendeliver.org/wd2026/

Palestinian girls and women continue to endure the harrowing impacts of the genocide. Their sexual and reproductive health and rights must be safeguarded.

The world cannot continue to fail Palestinian girls and women.

On the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, we call for justice and the fulfillment of Palestinians’ inalienable right to self-determination — grounded in gender equality and human rights.

Change is calling us to Narrm (Melbourne), Australia — to the unceded lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation — for the Women Deliver 2026 Conference #WD2026, where we will come together to resist, reimagine, and rebuild.

This week, we brought together partners for a Feminist Playbook consultation with the Asfari Institute for Civil Society & Citizenship at the American University of Beirut!🔥

We were thrilled to connect with regional advocates, exchange ideas, & imagine what’s possible when we keep pushing together.

The African Regional Convening Towards Women Deliver 2026 is here. Nairobi, 24 - 26 November 2025. We are gathering here to ensure African voices and priorities guide the path to our next Conference!

In 2023, we held WD2023 in Kigali. Now, we are coming together again in this African Regional Convening ahead of WD2026, showing that feminist action doesn’t stop when a Conference ends. We carry those learnings into the work ahead.

The African Regional Convening Towards #WD2026 in Nairobi unites feminist organizations, youth networks, and grassroots movements from across Africa. 🌍

Why are we gathering here? To accelerate progress on SRHR and gender equality across the continent 👏

🌏 The Playbook belongs to all of us — and we can only shape it together. In the coming months, we’ll continue hosting consultations in Nairobi, Beirut, and the Pacific. We want you to join this co-creation process!

Transforming our sector won’t happen overnight. It may take years, even decades, to chart a path forward. But WD2026 gives us a powerful moment to begin that journey together.

✊ At the Women Deliver 2026 Conference (#WD2026), we will mobilize bold commitments from donors, governments, youth networks, civil society, and feminist movements worldwide. But the Conference is just the spark. 👇

The WD2026 journey is made up of four pathways. Pathway 1: Disrupt the now. We define what's broken in our systems, and practice joyful resistance.

Pathway 2: Build the vision. We imagine the future we want to create, free from injustice and inequity.

Pathway 3: Align for action. We build coalitions and establish shared frameworks for change.

Pathway 4: Sustain the movement. We maintain our momentum via accountability, care, and resourcing.

At #WD2026, we move through four pathways that lead us from truth to action.

Together, we will disrupt what no longer serves us, build the futures we believe in, align our movements, and sustain our collective power.

In Gaza, 328,000 girls have lost access to education. Education is a path to reproductive justice; it cannot be taken away. Source│ Education Cluster: Education Snapshot - The academic year 2024-2025, UN Women

In Gaza, 328,000 girls have lost access to education. 📚

The loss of education doesn’t just mean missed opportunities to learn; it directly undermines reproductive justice. When girls are denied education, their ability to make decisions about their own bodies, health, and futures is put at risk.

There is👏 no climate justice👏 without👏 gender justice.

Malkia John, an Emerging Leaders Program member from Kenya, is attending #COP30.

For her, advocating for #SRHR during COP30 means bringing the lived experiences, insights, and stories of young women from Africa into the climate discussions.

The body text states: "In 2024, the 10 countries where girls face the greatest barriers to education spent, on average, 4x more on debt repayments than on education. 32 million girls are paying the price, and we're calling on the G20 to act. Read the statement: mala.la/debtjusticestatement"

We are living in a time of profound crisis, of climate collapse, conflict, rising fascism, and the rollback of hard-won rights. The systems we once relied on — foreign aid, multilateralism, development — were never made for us. They were built to serve power and the interests of a few, not the needs of the many. And while the Global Majority contributes the least to these crises, they are the ones bearing its greatest burdens. As official development assistance (ODA) continues to shrink, we must remind the world that aid is not generosity; it is reparation. I see this moment not as an ending, but as a call to build anew: feminist, decolonized, and accountable to the Global Majority. Through our upcoming Women Deliver 2026 Conference and the co-creation of a Global Feminist Playbook, we are shaping a collective vision for gender equality and justice, alongside concrete commitments to make that vision real.

On this International Day of #ClimateAction, we say it again: the climate crisis isn’t just an environmental issue — it’s a justice issue.

Real climate action means bringing people together 🫂 across movements, regions, & generations to generate ideas and real change: mailchi.mp/projectdande...
