You will hear a speech on women empowerment.

Throughout the world, women face many barriers to empowerment. Therefore, it is important to build overall environments in which all women can thrive. During my tenure as Prime Minister of New Zealand, I am proud that my government continued to expand choices for women, let them enjoy paid parental leave, and extend by 25 percent the annual holiday for all employees. We also provided fully paid early childhood care at least twenty hours a week, so that women can be given a more genuine choice as to whether to return to work or not.
In rich and poor countries alike, women carry a lot of burden of unpaid care work — caring for young, elderly, sick, and/or disabled family members, preparing food, and, particularly among poorer, rural households, collecting and carrying water and wood for fuel — often over long distances.
My experiences in New Zealand have made me aware of the barriers to economic equality which women face, such as lower average incomes, and the attitudes and practices which can prevent women from holding certain positions, like leading companies and countries.
I have broken many glass ceilings, so I know it can be done. But I also know that I didn’t do it by myself. We all need support networks of women and men.
As a leader of my country, I have seen the evidence that equal rights and opportunities enable women to reach their full potential, make their own choices, and make substantial and lasting contributions to their communities and nations. Their contributions are essential for building inclusive, sustainable and resilient societies.
