Melbourne Declaration for Gender Equality
Women Deliver and partners around the world co-created a bold, collective Declaration that calls for rebalancing the ecosystem for accountability, rights, and a future of gender equality. More than 650 people across all regions have shaped the Declaration so far, now it belongs to all of us.
We call for a world where:
- States respect, protect, and fulfill human rights;
- feminist movements and civil society have the resources, space, and legitimacy to hold States accountable;
- and the wider gender equality ecosystem aligns its resources and influence.
Launching at the Women Deliver 2026 Conference, this Declaration articulates the world that girls, women, and gender-diverse people deserve. We invite you into this collective journey towards gender equality: rooted in care, solidarity and justice.
