Campaign #Women4Multilateralism

A exposição “Women4multulateralism” is an initiative of the European Union Delegation to the United Nations in Geneva and the Permanent Mission of Gabon. It features women leaders from countries with Permanent Missions in Geneva (contemporary or historical) who championed the cause of multilateralism, human rights (including women's rights), development, or peace and security, giving visibility to their work. The exhibition also includes young female activists pursuing these ideals at grassroots level, as well as women leading the multilateral process in top positions at the UN or other International Organisations.

The exhibition was projected on the “Mur des Réformateurs” in Geneva in March 2022 and features more than 110 women from a wide range of fields and backgrounds: from women politicians to peace negotiators and grassroots activists, from sustainable development to human rights and climate change. The campaign was also projected on the UN building in Vienna on 8 March and at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) on 8 March.

Global ethics for global problems : “Maria Lourdes Pintasilgo foi a primeira, e até hoje continua a ser a única mulher a ocupar o cargo de primeira-ministra de Portugal. Ela foi também uma das primeiras mulheres a ocupar este cargo na Europa e no mundo. Ela fez lobby para modernizar o sistema de proteção social do país e tornar a segurança social universal. Ela foi também a primeira embaixadora do país na UNESCO”.
