From Geneva to Melbourne: A Month of Global Action

After a whirlwind month of events around the world, the Project Everyone team has been reflecting on an extraordinary few weeks of conversations, connections and action.

At the World Health Assembly in Geneva, we worked to push child protection higher up the global health agenda. In partnership with Together for Girls, we supported the launch of the Out of the Shadows Index, where Dr Gloria J Balboa from the Philippines and Dr Joss Reimer from Canada shared national commitments to ending sexual violence against children.

The Lost Screens Memorial also shone a spotlight on online safety, while an Ending Violence Against Children dinner with the World Health Organization brought together Health Ministers from more than 15 countries to discuss concrete action to protect some of the world’s most vulnerable children.

At the World Education Forum, our Ministerial Lunch focused on forging talent for Africa’s future growth. Leaders including Noriana Muneku from Zambia, Dr Sanet Steenkamp from Namibia and Siviwe Gwarube from South Africa explored how leadership development can be scaled to meet the needs of the next generation.

In London, the Global Partnerships Conference brought together international leaders including Maropene Ramokgopa, Stine Renate Håheim, Randeep Sarai and Éléonore Caroit to discuss how stronger global partnerships can help advance international development goals.

And in Melbourne, alongside Women Deliver 2026, we hosted Studio 5, a major convening space dedicated to gender equality. The programme brought together leaders, activists and changemakers, including former Prime Ministers Justin Trudeau, Helen Clark and Julia Gillard, to explore what stronger political will and collective action can achieve for gender equality.

Across each of these moments, the aim was the same: to bring together people with the influence, expertise and commitment to turn ideas into action.

These conversations help build the partnerships, momentum and shared ambition needed to tackle challenges that no one country or organisation can solve alone.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and to the Project Everyone team working behind the scenes to make it all happen.
