Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) - "New knowledge and solutions to achieve a more gender equal world are at the center of the Women Deliver 2019 Conference (WD2019) taking place 3-6 June 2019 in Vancouver, Canada. It is the world’s largest conference on gender equality and on the health and rights of girls and women.
A wide range of participants from governments, parliamentarians, private sector, non-governmental organisations, the United Nations, young people, journalists and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation are exchanging their experience in order to strengthen gender equality around the world. Katja Iversen, President/CEO of Women Deliver, explains why this is important for sustainable development. SDC supports Women Deliver’s activities, including the conference."
