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.

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe is known for the thundering majesty of the Victoria Falls waterfall, and that power and energy is also evident in its people’s indomitable spirit. Designed by Zimbabwean university students, the Zimbabwe Pavilion at Expo 2020 surrounds visitors with impressive towers and stone carvings inspired by the historic Great Zimbabwe settlement. Take a virtual reality tour across Zimbabwe’s savannahs and down the mighty Zambezi River. Then learn about the country’s advances in mining, construction and agriculture, as well as the youthful, skilled workforce pushing Zimbabwe to new heights.

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.
