A global call-to-action for everyone to join the fight for gender equality — grounded in the voices of over 47,000 women leaders across 195 countries and territories.
The pledge asks each of us to listen, believe, and amplify; to share power and clear the path; to reject violence and hold ourselves accountable in spaces big and small.
THE PLEDGE
Make the Commitment
A future that is better for us all requires everyone to do their part — to put their allyship in action every day, everywhere, with everyone.
Believe in Equality & Equity for All
I believe unequivocally in equality and equity. I recognize that an equitable society benefits everyone — not women and girls alone.
Push for Change in Every Sphere
I pledge to push for equality, equity and change in every sphere of existence, clearing the path for those who identify as women — colleagues, supervisors, students, leaders, community members, elected officials, friends and family.
Listen, Believe, and Amplify
I commit to listening to and believing women and girls, and amplifying their voices at every level of society — including women who are systemically marginalized and excluded from power structures. I recognize that women from marginalized communities experience additional barriers and commit to intersectional allyship.
Reject All Forms of Violence Against Women
I reject all extreme forms of violence against women and girls. I will question harmful practices and stereotypes, support women’s efforts for accountability and justice, and lend my voice to end violence — including supporting survivors’ right to achieve justice in their communities, organizations, and homes.
Give Up Power to Make Room for Women
In spaces of influence, I will acknowledge and elevate women’s contributions, ensure that women are promoted to decision-making positions, and advocate for equitable leadership and policies that advance equality and equity.
Start at Home
I understand that equality starts at home — equal household responsibilities, equitable decision-making, and respect for women’s agency over their health and well-being.
Hold Yourself Accountable — Every Day
I recognize that practicing allyship will come in big ways and small. I commit to acknowledging when I have fallen short, holding myself and those around me accountable, and sharing the burden of progress every single day.
