Global Women’s Rights Awards 2023: Defending Democracy + Advancing Equality

In a world where the fight for equality and democracy remains ever important, the Feminist Majority Foundation Gala, in collaboration with Ms. Magazine, stood as a beacon of hope and celebration. This remarkable event brought together advocates, activists, and supporters to honor the progress made in advancing equality and defending democracy, while acknowledging the incredible work of inspiring individuals who have made a significant impact. The event served as a reminder of the power of collective action and the importance of continuing the fight for a more just and equitable society. Thank you to my editor at Ms. Magazine, Carmen Rios, for all her work to make this event incredible.

We must continue to support each other and keep working for a better world. The event was a powerful reminder that each person can make a difference, and that, together, we can create a future where all individuals can thrive and live in a truly just society.
