W7 Summit 2021

April 2021

On 21–22 April 2021, the Women 7 (W7) Summit brought together feminist experts, activists and practitioners from G7 countries and all around the world to amplify the voices, perspectives and leadership of those not commonly included in the G7 forum. Over these two days, participants collaborated on proposals for the G7 and agreed on concrete and meaningful actions in pursuit of gender justice.
