Breaking stereotypes and deconstructing misconceptions on women’s roles, the pavilion will raise awareness by showcasing female and male contributors to women’s empowerment and gender equality, inspiring visitors of all ages to become change-makers within their own communities and beyond.
Driven by a common conviction that the global sustainable development goals and aspirations for a peaceful and prosperous world cannot be achieved without gender equality and women’s empowerment, Expo 2020 and Cartier will come together to remind the world that full and equal participation of women in all fields is essential to building a more equitable and just world.
Under the exhibition titled “New Perspectives”, the Women’s Pavilion will invite visitors to recognise the central role women, known and unknown, have played throughout history, leading up to the present. Celebrating the contributions of women, the pavilion will demonstrate an important principle: when women thrive, all of humanity thrives.
It will highlight important contributions women have made in advancing societies, as well as the challenges women still face, especially as the world navigates through the Covid-19 pandemic and works towards a more sustainable future.
The Women’s Pavilion features five structures with different narratives located on the ground floor:
Introduction expressing the purpose of the pavilion;
- Achievements: shining a light on women’s impact on the world;
- Challenges: acknowledging what is holding women back;
- Solutions: highlighting the initiatives enabling women to thrive so humanity can thrive; and
- Engaging: encouraging visitors to become champions of gender equality and women’s empowerment and take the journey forward.
The international community has made progress in gender equality and women’s empowerment, but much more needs to be done. By welcoming visitors from across the planet and from every walk of life, Expo 2020 Dubai is a powerful platform that will drive the necessary attention to this issue.
Gender equality and women’s empowerment has been a central principle of the UAE since its inception 50 years ago as shown in initiatives by great female leaders such as Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak and Sheikha Hind bint Maktoum bin Juma Al Maktoum.
