Women Deliver’s conferences are the world’s largest global convenings
to focus on the health, rights and well-being of girls and women.
Building on the successes of Women Deliver's three previous global
gatherings—in London in 2007, in Washington in 2010 and in Kuala Lumpur
in 2013—the 2016 Conference will bring together world leaders,
advocates, policymakers, journalists, young people, researchers and
leaders of the private sector and civil society to showcase what it
means and how it works when women and girls become the focus of
development efforts.
The conference, which will be held in Copenhagen from 16–19
May 2016, will be the largest gathering on girls’ and women’s health,
rights, and wellbeing for more than a decade, and one of the first major
global conferences following the launch of the Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). The focus of the conference will be on how to implement
SDGs as they relate to girls and women, with a specific focus on health –
in particular maternal, sexual, and reproductive health and rights –
and the inter-connections with gender equality, education, environment,
and economic empowerment.
