Join us for a virtual, highly interactive event held during the 2020 UN General Assembly on strengthening accountability for women’s, children’s and adolescents’ health and rights during the COVID-19 crisis and beyond.

Hosted by The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health (PMNCH), the White Ribbon Alliance and Every Woman Every Child, the event brings together stakeholders from governments to grass-roots organizations — people with power to make changes and people calling for those changes to be made.

Led by the Rt Hon Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Chair of PMNCH, and moderated by Mercy Juma of BBC, the event presents new data and evidence from the EWEC@10 report, shares voices from the community with the lived experiences of women and girls, and launches the new PMNCH five-year strategy and Call to Action on COVID-19 campaign for women, children and adolescents. The event features moderated chats and live polling with simultaneous sign language interpretation and French/Spanish translation.
