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.

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 the 2020 Labour Government, Hon. Nanaia Mahuta became New Zealand’s first woman to hold the Foreign Affairs portfolio. She is also Minister of Local Government, and Associate Minister for Māori Development.

Originally elected in 1996, aged 26 years, she was the youngest member of the New Zealand House of Representatives. Nanaia holds an MA in social anthropology and Maori business from the University of Auckland.

Nanaia is a tribal member of Waikato-Tainui, Ngāti Maniapoto and Ngāti Manu and her parliamentary experience has enabled her to contribute to the collective aspirations of Maori and all New Zealanders.

During her time in Parliament, Nanaia has supported policies and initiatives to assist communities and social services, improved investment in education, offered more employment and training opportunities particularly for young people, supported the continuation of the Treaty settlement process and boosted specific initiatives to improve the wellbeing of young mums and those who are vulnerable and victims of abuse.

The Whanganui River is so important to New Zealand’s Maori people that in 2017, it was granted a special legal identity, giving it the rights of a citizen. Now, the New Zealand Pavilion offers a sweeping cultural tour narrated by the Whanganui River itself.

With a design inspired by the Maori tradition of hand-crafting containers to safeguard items of value, the pavilion leads you on a journey of conservation where the greatest treasure to be protected is our natural world. Immerse yourself in the river’s story, deepen the experience with the pavilion’s web-based app, and journey through a 10-metre-high “vertical river” of water droplets.

The New Zealand Pavilion features a tall box clad in titanic wavy panels of chainmail-like architectural mesh called Kaynemaile. Its flexible façade pulses to evoke a living building and sits on a base crafted from New Zealand Abodo eco-timber. The ground floor’s wooden exterior lends a warm feel to the modernist design, welcoming visitors through a small gap beneath the mammoth Kaynemaile panels.

Empowering women is critical to meeting some of the most pressing challenges of our time. Yet, despite making up half of the world’s population, women face widespread and significant barriers to equality. On International Women's Day, we convene visionaries, leaders, and innovators from around the world to tackle the issues of harmful stereotypes that prevent women from reaching their potential.

Expo 2020 connects minds from around the globe. These connections are not limited to the pavilions and parks, but also extend to the vast Dubai Exhibition Centre: a new, state-of-the-art venue for conferences, concerts and more. 

Conveniently located next to the recently completed Expo 2020 metro station, with striking views of the magnificent domed Al Wasl Plaza, the DEC offers 45,000 square metres of customisable event space, 14 exhibition and multi-use halls, on-site catering, and best-in-class audio-visual resources.


A light geometric pattern decorates the DEC’s extraordinarily broad front façade, which features a giant overhanging arch over the entrance to the central plaza area, as well as sloped surfaces that seem to angle away from the entrance like a pair of wings

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.
