Ruby Red Founder Selected as a UN Women UK Delegate to attend United Nations Commission on the Status of Women

I am honoured to announce that I've been selected to join UN Women UK as a delegate for the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women #CSW68.

As the largest global policymaking body dedicated exclusively to promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women, the Commission offers a platform to amplify the voices of women and girls and create real action plans tackling relevant issues.

This year’s theme, to #InvestInWomenAccelerateProgress, is a chance for us to address poverty globally. As we enter an election year, this is a particularly critical issue here in the UK, where gender pay gaps and patriarchal structures mean women suffer disproportionately. We will also be working to empower women in leadership roles and encouraging a gendered lens when it comes to financial decision-making and policy.

As a member of CSW, I am joining forces with thousands of trail-blazing women from across the world, all coming together to contribute, discuss, and debate solutions that lead to action. i.e. making a real IMPACT!

Progress cannot be made without allies’ engagement in transforming the lives of girls and women and building an inclusive society and organisations. If you would like to be part of building the future of gender equality, join the 68th session of CSW taking place from 11th to 22nd March 2024 ➡ www.unwomenuk.org. The deadline for applications is 26th February.

I look forward to working with you to create a more equitable and empowered world for women and girls.
