Women Deliver
Women Deliver is a leading global advocacy organization that champions gender equality and the health and rights of girls and women. Its advocacy drives investment – political and financial – in the lives of girls and women.
Women Deliver aims to harness evidence and unite diverse voices to spark commitment to gender equality. Anchored in sexual and reproductive health, they advocate for the rights of girls and women across every aspect of their lives. They are advisors to governments, corporations, and civil society organizations alike.
Every three years, the organization galvanizes momentum at the global Women Deliver Conference. “It’s a bold and diverse gathering, a fueling station of ideas, and generator of action, convening thousands to identify solutions and drive change for girls and women.”
Women Deliver Conferences bring together decision-makers from civil society, governments, the private sector, and international agencies alongside advocates, activists, and journalists for dialogue, evidence and solution sharing, accountability, and action – on site and around the globe.
Women Deliver’s History
Women Deliver debuted as a global conference in London in 2007, under the leadership of Jill W. Sheffield. At the time it was described as a “groundbreaking” event and credited with igniting a movement that was desperately needed. In 2010 the organization lead the charge to put Millennium Development Goal 5 – Improve Maternal Health – on the global development agenda.
That same year, Women Deliver piloted a Young Leaders Program, to elevate the potential and passion of young advocates by providing them to skills-building training and access to platforms for them to share their voices and experiences. The Young Leaders Program has engaged 1,000 youth advocates under the age of 30 to date, representing more than 148 countries, supplementing and strengthening their work through online learning communities, high-level networking, speaking opportunities, and seed grants.
Today, Women Deliver is recognized as a key player and advocate for gender equality and the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women.
