Women have played an essential role in driving innovation and progress in science and technology, yet those accomplishments often remain unrecognized, underrepresented, and underappreciated. To commemorate the 2022 International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Expo 2020 Dubai in partnership with UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MOIAT), United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) will be hosting an event to celebrate their contributions and achievements, and to encourage the next generation of young women and girls to pursue careers in the sciences. 

The event will specifically focus on new and emerging fields of space, climate change and energy, and computer science because they have immense potential as rapidly evolving areas. In addition to playing a defining role in our shared future, these disciplines are essential in the ongoing Digital Revolution and will lead to economic growth, resource optimization, propel breakthroughs and innovations, and ultimately impact gender equity and inclusivity.

The Sustainable Menstruation Coalition (SMC) is a strategic alliance which aims to empower girls and women to reach their goals through adopting a sustainable menstruation product that is right for them.

They believe that a lack of access to well-made and comfortable menstruation products should not be a reason for a girl to drop out of education or for a woman to give up work. They envision a coalition of like-minded organisations from civil society, business and the public sector, committed to ensuring that menstruators have access to the menstrual products that are right for them, irrespective of income. The use of and access to sustainable menstruation products will also have a positive impact on reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions, both in the short and long-term.

SMC partners act as advocates for the movement and agree to work collaboratively and generously. They all share the common goal of providing sustainable menstrual products to 100 million menstruators across India by 2030, as a means of effecting lasting change in mindsets and policies, as well as the market for sustainable menstruation hygiene products to end period poverty as we know it.

Sustainable Menstruation Coalition: Towards Ending Period Poverty

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.
