🇱🇧 Beirut, we came to connect, learn, and push for change.

Women Deliver was in Beirut to advance feminist foreign policy, strengthen regional collaboration, and turn gender equality commitments into action.

Together with the Governments of Spain and Mexico, the Feminist Foreign Policy Collaborative, International Center for Research on Women, and The Asfari Institute for Civil Society and Citizenship, we joined conversations on what it takes to make feminist foreign policy truly accountable, consistent, and transformative.

📣 The main message was clear: governments must be held accountable for their obligations, and civil society organizations play a crucial role in making that happen. Their full, equal, meaningful, and effective participation is essential to shaping policies that reflect our demands and advance gender equality.

🤝 We also brought together feminist actors from across SWANA to explore how the Melbourne Declaration for Gender Equality can reflect regional realities, how the Transformation Collective can better support national-level movements and organization, and what collaboration can look like beyond the traditional paradigms that have shaped our sector.

One of our biggest takeaways? Building connections is part of the change itself. Organizations that had never met before connected, shared ideas, and began exploring new ways to work together.

✊📣 What does investing in adolescent girls’ rights look like in practice?

For Yaa Edusei, founder of Femishare Foundation and a member of Women Deliver’s Adolescent Girls Working Group, it means investing in girls’ rights and futures, equipping them with the resources they need, and ensuring they have the platforms to make decisions for themselves.

Through her grassroots work with adolescent girls in rural and underserved communities in Ghana, Yaa puts this vision into practice. The Manifesto for Adolescent Girls’ Rights offers a shared political vision to guide this work, recognizing adolescent girls as rights-holders, leaders, and their own political constituency.

As we reflect beyond International Day of the Girl, Yaa reminds us that advancing girls’ rights takes sustained investment, solidarity, and collective action. The is a tool we can all use to strengthen grassroots advocacy and build momentum around the future adolescent girls are demanding.

✍️ Read the Manifesto, use it, and build on it to advance action for adolescent girls’ rights:

We have a shared vision for gender equality. How do we turn it into collective action?

The Melbourne Declaration gives us a shared political direction: strengthen movement power, hold States accountable to their human rights obligations, and advance the rights of girls, women, and gender-diverse people. The gender equality sector needs to change so that movements closest to injustice have the power and resources to hold their States accountable.

That takes political will, strong relationships, and sustained action. 🤝

Through Women Deliver’s 2025–2030 Strategy, we’re working with partners to build the connections and shared structures that help turn that direction into action.

🎉 The for Gender Equality has now surpassed 1,000 endorsements, including nearly 400 organizations supporting its shared political vision.

🤝 That vision connects people across issues and sectors to hold States accountable for everyone’s human rights — from health, education, and bodily autonomy to livelihoods, participation in public life, and freedom from discrimination, coercion, and violence. These rights belong to everyone, are interconnected, and States must respect, protect, and fulfill them equally and without discrimination.

At our event on the sidelines of , we came together with partners to explore new ways of putting the Declaration into action. Two speakers reflected on what makes it powerful: its focus on accountability and its potential to evolve as more people contribute to it.

The Declaration is a shared starting point, meant to be built on. It can bring together different kinds of knowledge, experience, and influence to strengthen advocacy and drive action in different contexts. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4sVAAUR

📣 What does it take to turn commitments to girls’ rights into action?

At the in Berlin, Women Deliver Emerging Leader Gemechu Kebede, MD, founder of Nexus Youth Initiatives, convened and moderated From Declarations to Delivery: Advancing Health Equity for Women, Children, and Youth, alongside Runyararo Mutariswa from Sonke Gender Justice.

The discussion brought community-led experience into the global health conversation, exploring how to accelerate action to end female ge***al mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and child marriage, two interconnected practices that threaten girls’ health, rights, and well-being.

Women Deliver’s Kinza Hasan also highlighted the Feminist Health Systems Charter and the importance of supporting, amplifying, and collaborating with youth-led organizations and civil society to hold governments accountable for their commitments.

Gender equality can’t be advanced in silos.

The movements, ideas, leadership, and expertise are already there.

The challenge? 🤝 Connecting all that power so we can move together to transform and better serve girls, women, and gender-diverse people.

And we’ve seen what’s possible when that happens. The co-creation of the Melbourne Declaration for Gender Equality brought people from across the gender equality sector together around a shared political vision, building alignment, and creating the conditions for collective action.

Now, we’re building on that.

📣 Health systems should answer to the people they serve. The Feminist Health Systems Charter sets out what that means: care grounded in human rights and gender justice, with States accountable for upholding everyone’s right to health, including (sexual and reproductive health and rights).

Published at , it’s an advocacy tool we can use together to push for change.

At the World Health Summit in Berlin, Women Deliver co-hosted From Charter to Practice: Building Feminist Health Systems Together. We’re bringing advocates together to map existing work, identify gaps and opportunities for joint action, and strengthen partnerships.

Our goal is to build stronger collective advocacy, political will, and investment for at the Summit and beyond.

📣 "The Manifesto for Adolescent Girls’ Rights must be carried forward, especially beyond 2030. Collective action for adolescent girls’ rights must be sustained"

As we approach on October 11, we’re reminded that adolescent girls’ rights are non-negotiable. Investing in girls, upholding their rights, and ensuring they can shape their own futures must remain priorities.

✊🗣️ Throughout the last few weeks, Yaa Edusei, Olamide Anibaba, Rushna Zubair, and Luiza Caleia have unpacked the Manifesto’s vision and demands, showing how adolescent girls are already creating change in their communities and carrying that vision forward in their own realities.

The , written and led by girls, is more than an advocacy tool. It is a shared political vision we can all rally behind and use to guide our work, align our resources, and advance action for adolescent girls’ rights.

“The gives us a vision for that kind of change. It moves the conversation from: are girls being included to do girls really have power?”

As Yaa, Olamide, and Rushna reflect, real power means adolescent girls can shape their own futures.

It takes more than being heard or having a seat at the table. It means policies that reflect girls’ realities, funding and resources that reach them, decision-making spaces where their voices can influence outcomes, and systems that are accountable to them.
