(Dubai, 8 March 2022) UN Women announced DP World today as the newest HeForShe Alliance member during a high-profile event at Expo 2020 Dubai.

(New York, 23 September 2021) Against a global landscape where it will take 257 years to achieve economic equality and where 90% of all Heads of State and Fortune 500 CEOs are male, global leaders from across business, non-profit and academia are standing up and today joining UN Women’s new HeForShe Alliance: a unique group of ambitious leaders determined to accelerate progress towards gender equality.

• Over the last six years, a unique group of 35 world leaders across government, business and academia made over 90 commitments to address some of today’s most pressing gender issues.
• Known as HeForShe Champions, part of UN Women’s HeForShe initiative, they are Presidents, Prime Ministers, CEOs and academic leaders.

(New York, 1 March 2020) On Zero Discrimination Day, HeForShe launched the #YearOfMaleAllyship campaign sharing the stories of men all over the world and why equality matters to them. In doing so, we hope to create a global movement that normalizes what it means to stand with women for equality.

An ally can be someone who amplifies women’s voices, who educates themselves about different identities and experiences, someone who challenges the status quo and someone who takes action. 

(New York, 25 November 2019) - On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and inaugural day of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, UN Women announced Mr. Luís Carrilho, United Nations Police Adviser in the Department of Peace Operations, as its newest HeForShe Advocate supporting the movement for gender equality.
