"We have watched in absolute horror as the violence in Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and the entire region moves into a dangerous new phase," said our President, Alyse Nelson. The Vital Voices Crisis Response Team is mobilizing to provide urgent assistance through our network of women leaders and women-led organizations in the escalating conflict now impacting Southern #Lebanon. In the last 72 hours, we’ve been working with women leaders and partner organizations to rapidly deploy funds directly to those on the frontlines, ensuring critical support reaches communities in need. Women, often disproportionately impacted by conflict, play a vital role in delivering immediate, life-saving assistance. Our Crisis Team is focused on providing flexible support, including safe relocation, health services, and urgent livelihood assistance for women leaders and activists, especially in Beirut, a key hub for human rights defenders.

Watch live from the #EqualityLounge at #ClimateWeekNYC as we dive into the essential connections between gender equity, affordable healthcare, and access to clean water, highlighting how these interconnected challenges may be addressed to create a more inclusive and sustainable future. These three critical issues are key priorities to the United Nations and influence the livelihoods of billions of people and can’t sit in isolation from the other. This panel explores how community leaders are taking a holistic approach to address water, equity and healthcare in the face of a warming world. • Anesa "Nes" Parker, Sustainability, Climate and Equity Leader, Government and Public Services, Deloitte • Alyse Nelson, President and CEO, Vital Voices Global Partnership • Lisa Kristine, Human Thread Foundation • Dr. Uche Ralph-Opara (MD, MPH, MBA), Chief Health Officer, Project HOPE • Daniella Foster, Senior Vice President & Group Head, Public Affairs, Market Access and Sustainability, Consumer Health Division, Bayer

On Monday night, Vital Voices partnered with Estée Lauder for an inspiring event celebrating female leadership and empowerment. As our CEO Alyse Nelson reminded us, “No country can move forward if half the population, women and girls, are left behind.” Through our partnership, we’ve trained, connected, and supported 400 women leaders across 60 countries with our VV Visionaries leadership program. Supermodel and philanthropist Karlie Kloss took the stage to honor the remarkable recipients of the Estée Lauder Emerging Leaders #BeautifulForcesGrants. Congratulations to these outstanding women: 🌟 Amina Mohamed – Founder of Cameras For Girls, empowering girls in Africa by challenging gender disparities in media through photography. 🌟 MARIA CONSUELO HERMOSILLA GONZALEZ – Founder of Fundación Antonia, dedicated to eradicating intimate partner violence and providing essential support to survivors in Chile. 🌟 Renata Koch Alvarenga – Founder of EmpoderaClima, a youth-led organization focused on raising awareness about the impact of climate change on women and promoting gender-transformative climate education. 🌟 Olasumbo Adeleke – Executive Director of Gender Power Africa, enhancing the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, particularly women and youth, through economic empowerment and training. These stories are a powerful reminder of what women can achieve when they are supported and uplifted. For more insights from the event, check out the latest issue of Vogue! 👇 https://lnkd.in/gVut7Hes

Linkedin TopVoices Equidad de Género Trabajo todos los días por la inclusión, la igualdad, la seguridad e integridad de las mujeres y las niñas/ Coordinadora de Políticas Públicas de la Fiscalía de Género Edo Mex
Hace unos días viví una de las experiencias mas intensas y más formativas que me han sucedido. Tuve la increíble oportunidad de conocer, escuchar, aprender, compartir y convivir con 100 mujeres que desde miles de trincheras en cada rincón del mundo trabajan incansablemente por hacer de sus entornos, sus países y el mundo un lugar democrático y donde se respeten los derechos humanos. No se como describir lo que es escuchar el testimonio de mujeres que han dedicado su vida, su libertad, que han dejado familias, cuyos cuerpos han sido violentados, etc… por defender la libertad de sus países; mujeres que desde el exilio o in situ, arriesgan todo por que otras mujeres puedan vivir con dignidad. Mujeres capaces de compartir mesa, lágrimas y un abrazo con otras mujeres con las que no comparten creencias, cuyos gobiernos les han dicho que son “enemigas” y que deben odiarse. Y por supuesto abrazar y fortalecer lazos y sororidad con mis hermanas latinoamericanas, y entender que nuestro continente tiene muchos retos y que nos necesita unidas, fuertes y valientes. Han sido días llenos de reflexión, de aprendizaje, de desafíos, pero también de mucho amor, de mucha sororidad, de sentir que juntas nos sostenemos, y que solo siendo disruptivas en la bondad y radicales en la empatía, haremos la diferencia. 💜 Como siempre muy agradecida con Vital Voices Global Partnership por está increíble oportunidad de crecer, de aprender, pero sobre todo por ser parte de esta impresionante red de mujeres, tan llena de experiencia, de fuerza, de sabiduría y de sororidad. #theworldthatwewant #leadingtherise
