GS Corr said that today, women and girls are not just on the agenda, they are the agenda, adding that while they might be working on varied causes, \u201cthey are united by a single passionate belief to empower women and girls\u201d to transform societies. \u201cTogether we can build a world where all lives truely have equal values,\u201d she emphasised.<\/p>\n
