Local governance is key to achieving
gender equality and social equity

We celebrate women’s grassroots activism and call for a partnership between activist and elected women. UCLG believes that the time is now for equality and wants to acknowledge the work done by all activists, as well as by grassroots women’s organizations, that have driven change worldwide.
 
During these times of transformation, we would like to acknowledge not just women leaders all over the world but also those which may not be political leaders but have been key pillars of our society. Each and every one of them counts and their contributions must be remembered.
 
Grassroots movements, however, are but one part of the  equation. Activists need to bring women’s perspectives, voices and actions to the attention of political representatives in order to shape policies and hold them accountable. Only through close collaboration between said activists and politicians will we be able to ensure equal pay and equal opportunities for men and women and design and carry out policies that foster equality.
