The Organization of American States (OAS) and Vital Voices Global Partnership will work together to promote women's rights and leadership in the Americas, according to a memorandum of understanding signed today in Washington, DC.
The two organizations will also cooperate on issues of gender equality, indigenous women, climate change and the prevention of gender violence, among others.
On signing the agreement, the Secretary General of the OAS, Luis Almagro, emphasized that “Joining the efforts of the OAS and Vital Voices is a very valuable opportunity. This association will allow us to learn and create by connecting women from across the Americas. It is not only about creating spaces to incorporate more women, but also about achieving labor, social and health conditions that allow them to influence and exercise effective leadership for the benefit of all citizens."
For her part, Vital Voices Global Partnership Executive Director Alyse Nelson said: “This partnership with the Organization of American States is an incredible culmination of our partnership working with women leaders across 33 nations. The agreement will enable us to work even more closely together to address our shared mission of expanding women’s leadership, addressing the climate crisis and eradicating gender-based violence. We look forward to many years of successful and positive change to further the lives of women and men across this Hemisphere.”
The OAS and Vital Voices worked together previously when, during the 53rd OAS General Assembly, Vital Voices and the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) of the OAS held the event “Breaking the Mold: A new approach to political leadership from the voices of women in the Americas.”
Vital Voices Global Partnership is a nonprofit organization founded on the simple idea that nations and communities cannot advance without women's voices in leadership positions. By exhibiting visionary thinking and taking risks to innovate, they strengthen laws, create jobs, change cultures, and defend freedoms, generating change that extends to the global community.
