\n<\/strong>With support from the UN Office of Partnerships, the Portraits of Progress: Women Powering the Global Goals<\/em> exhibit underscores the need to invest more deeply in women change makers who are key to solving the world\u2019s greatest challenges. This interactive storytelling exhibition inside the U.N. Visitor\u2019s Gallery is on display through March 22. It features portraits and first-person recordings of women leaders from around the world who are driving creative solutions that collectively advance 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Alongside each portrait, visitors can scan a QR code to listen to a message from the featured leader, who shares more about how she is addressing her particular Goal.<\/p>\n\n
\nJoin influential women leaders at the High Line in New York City for the 17th Global Vital Voices Global Mentoring Walks. Led by luminaries such as DVF Founder & Co-Chairwoman Diane von Furstenberg, along with Vital Voices Co-Founder, President & CEO Alyse Nelson, this event brings together established and emerging women leaders from various fields for a one-mile walk. Participants will engage in insightful discussions on career growth, work-life balance, career transitions, and conflict resolution \u2013 all in the spirit of global community and mentorship.<\/p>\n
\nVital Voices Global Partnership was cofounded in 1997 by Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton and the late Secretary Madeleine Albright. Now celebrating 26 years, Vital Voices has directly invested in more than 20,000 women leaders across 185 countries and territories since its inception. Driven by the universal truth that women are the key to progress in their communities and nations cannot move forward without women in leadership positions, Vital Voices has provided early support for leaders who went on to become Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, U.S. Youth Poet Laureates, prime ministers, award-winning innovators, pioneering human rights defenders, and breakthrough social entrepreneurs, including Amanda Gorman and Malala Yousafzai. To advance and expand this work, in 2022 Vital Voices opened the doors to the world\u2019s first global embassy for women, the Vital Voices Global Headquarters for Women\u2019s Leadership. It is a first-of-its-kind space that allows for convening, innovation, planning, and action\u2014all in the pursuit of serving women leaders who are taking on the world\u2019s greatest challenges.<\/p>\n\n
