Kicking Off the Global Forum with the @UNESCO Network of Anti-Racism and Anti-Discrimination Officials

A powerful start, bringing together public officials driving anti-racism and anti-discrimination agendas across the globe—from Sweden to Canada, Peru, the US, and beyond.

This inspiring network is joining forces to learn from each other, share strategies, and amplify impact. In a world where discrimination persists, this group represents a formidable force for change, advancing effective practices to combat racism in all its forms.

The discussions underscored a critical message: it’s not just about addressing individual cases or passing legislation. To create real change, we must influence policies, tackle institutional racism, and make visible the social and economic costs of discrimination to our societies.

This is just the beginning. Let’s carry this energy and momentum into the days ahead as we continue building solutions together at the Global Forum!

Only 24 of 138 countries have governance frameworks addressing gender equality in AI. It's time for more countries to follow. Join us on 30 October at the Women4EthicalAI Conference as we explore solutions to bridge this gap and build an #ethical & #equitable AI future for all.

Women in Jamaica, on average, earn only 61% of the income of males – a gap of 39%.

Lower pay can prevent women and families from putting food on the table, securing safe housing, and accessing medical care and education.
