Women Deliver

Women Deliver is a global feminist advocacy organization with a clear mission: to ensure that every self-identifying girl and woman can exercise full control over her body and life. We believe sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are the cornerstone of bodily autonomy and have convened gender equality advocates from all levels of power for almost two decades to advance this cause. While we are best known for our convening power, our expertise extends beyond the Women Deliver Conferences to global advocacy for gender equality. Specifically, we have extensive experience in navigating and leveraging global spaces, in equitable youth engagement and co-leadership, including resourcing young people working for change in their communities, countries, and regions, and in supporting and strengthening coalitions and collective movements.

Women Deliver recognizes that our sector and work is deeply embedded in and tainted by colonial and racist power structures, ideals, and practices, and that we, ourselves, have benefitted from and perpetuated these practices. We are steadfast in our commitment to shaping a future where our work not only reflects our feminist and anti-racist values, but also actively contributes to dismantling the systems that oppress girls and women in all their diversity.

Women Deliver Conferences convene thousands of advocates and decision-makers from diverse fields, including civil society, government, the private sector, international agencies, youth-led organizations, women’s rights organizations, and advocates representing intersectional identities of girls, women, and traditional marginalized communities to drive progress toward gender equality. With more than 6,500 delegates on-site and 10,000+ delegates online, the Women Deliver 2023 Conference was one of the largest and most impactful convenings for gender equality. The next Women Deliver Conference (WD2026) is slated to take place in Melbourne, Australia, April 27-30, 2026.
