The meeting was graced by influential leaders and stakeholders, including:

A Call to Action

Gender-Based Violence continues to be a pervasive issue that threatens the dignity, safety, and well-being of countless women and girls. As a society, we must collectively:

• Stand strong against femicide and all forms of GBV.
• Foster environments where women and girls can thrive without fear.
• Educate and empower communities to challenge harmful norms and practices.

Together, we can create a society where everyone feels valued, respected, and safe.
