Under the title “New Perspectives”, the Women’s World Majlis programme invites you to recognise a fundamental principle: when women thrive, humanity thrives.

The programme highlights the impact women have made on society and shines a light on their often forgotten contributions. By shifting perspectives, we embrace the infinite approaches to a more balanced world.

A common vision for a unique collaboration; sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment.

Sharing this vision, Expo 2020 Dubai and Cartier celebrate women changemakers around the globe, asserting our conviction that innovative collaboration between the private sector, civil society and committed individuals is the pathway to meaningful change.

In 2019, L'Oréal Paris commissioned an international study across eight countries to better understand the issue of harassment in public spaces. The research obtained demonstrated that it can be difficult to identify harassment and understand how to safely intervene. It also showed that harassment in public spaces is the number one issue faced by women and girls around the world. 

To stand against this, L’Oréal Paris in collaboration with Hollaback, a world-renowned NGO and global leader in the movement to end harassment, launched the Stand Up Against Street Harassment programme.   

The goal of the programme is to raise awareness about the issue of street harassment and how significant it is around the world. We want to discourage harassers, support victims and encourage bystanders to intervene. The ambition is to train one million people by the end of 2021, and therefore combat the prevalence of street harassment.

This Stand Up training session will teach participants the five D’s methodology - distract, delegate, document, delay and direct – five simple actions that can help everyone to intervene safely, whether you are a witness or a victim of street harassment.
