Women make tremendous contributions to the world, yet many remain unknown or forgotten. The Women’s Pavilion in collaboration with Cartier at Expo 2020 challenges this imbalance by taking visitors on a journey through the remarkable achievements of women across the globe. Our showcase underscores the principle that “When women thrive, all of humanity thrives”.

The pavilion showcases the exceptional accomplishments of women, world-famous and unknown. Immerse yourself in the triumphs of women through history, discover the journeys women have taken to claim their equality and dive into the stories of the inspirational women shaping our future.

Launch Event: The Power of Mentoring for Women Entrepreneurs 

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.

Fresh thinking is everywhere in Namibia, from its commitment to renewable energy to its ocean plan to mine for marine gems with the world’s first custom-built diamond-searching ship. At the Namibia Pavilion, you can explore these innovations and marvel at the sunny African nation's natural beauty – including looks at the windswept peaks of the world’s tallest sand dunes and the watering holes where the globe’s largest numbers of cheetahs and white rhinos still gather. Everywhere you turn, the warmth of Namibia shines forth.
