Media are invited to capture stories of change and inspiration<\/h4>\n

NEW YORK, March 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In celebration of Women\u2019s History Month, Vital Voices Global Partnership, an organization dedicated to empowering women leaders worldwide, announces two initiatives aimed at honoring and inspiring women across the globe.<\/p>\n

March 1 – 22 \u2013 Vital Voices and UN Partnerships Art Exhibit at United Nations Headquarters
\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). Each woman profiled in the exhibit is tackling one of the 17 Global Goals. 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

\u201cOur aim with this project is to spotlight the critical role of women leaders worldwide in achieving global progress through the SDGs,\u201d said Vital Voices President & CEO Alyse Nelson. \u201cBecause women and girls are disproportionately impacted by pressing issues such as climate change, conflict, and inequality, their perspective and ideas are invaluable. Women leaders consistently bring forward unique and inclusive solutions that benefit entire communities, countries, and our shared planet. As world leaders consider how to close current gaps in targets for the Global Goals, we believe that greater investments in women\u2019s proven, innovative solutions will be pivotal to progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
