Sign the Pledge

Ten years ago, the international community set a path for ending poverty by agreeing to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Women’s and girls’ equality is critical to the realisation of these goals.

The UN will be meeting for the Review Summit on the Millennium Development Goals 20-22 September 2010.

Today, women bear the main burdens of war and poverty. 70% of the world's poor are women and 75% of the civilians killed in war are women and children. Greater investment in women and girls is needed so that they can rebuild their lives, families, communities and, ultimately, their nations.

It is vital that we call on governments to INVEST MORE IN WOMEN AND GIRLS or all of the MDG’s will fail. I want my government to know that I want them to invest in women.

This pledge will be presented to our governments before the United Nations General Assembly in September 2010, when they will meet to review progress against the MDGs. We will show them how much you, and many more people like you all over the world, care about making sure that government policies and actions support women and girls in building strong communities.
