Next week, WEDO will join thousands of feminist advocates, practitioners, and movement leaders in Melbourne, Australia, for the 2026 Women Deliver conference.
Right now, our priority is simple: to be in the spaces where feminist community can deepen, strategies can sharpen, and collective power can grow.
WEDO is engaging around Women Deliver 2026 for the opportunity to connect across movements, places, and generations. We are showing up to build relationships, exchange ideas, and move forward together, wherever those conversations are happening.
At the same time, we are holding the complexity of gathering in a space that is not accessible to everyone. Many are navigating violence at borders, displacement, and war. There is real privilege in having the resources to come together in this way. The ability to convene, while others are denied safety or passage, is not lost on us, and we aim to engage in these moments with intention, accountability, and a commitment to collective action.
This year’s conference is hosted in the Oceanic Pacific region, and that matters. For WEDO, being part of Women Deliver 2026 is an opportunity to strengthen our connections with women leaders and Indigenous women from a region that has long borne the harshest impacts of the climate crisis. Too often, their leadership, knowledge, and solutions are left out of global policy conversations.
WEDO has worked with Pacific networks for years. Since COP is not happening in Australia this year, we will use this time to strengthen those relationships, listen closely to what communities in the region are building and asking for, and make sure the feminist climate justice agenda we bring to global spaces truly reflects their realities and leadership.
First Nations voices in the Pacific bring important knowledge, ways of governing, and visions of care that must be central, not just an add-on, to any just transition. We are here to learn, to amplify, and to build together.
WEDO's engagement at Women Deliver 2026 is oriented around three areas that sit at the heart of our work:
Real transformation means facing what is unjust, imagining something better, building the coalitions to achieve it, and doing the ongoing work to keep movements strong and well-resourced.
That is the work WEDO is committed to. We know gatherings like this are not perfect, since no meeting can be. But in a time marked by backlash and extraction, it is necessary and powerful for feminists from around the world to come together in the same room and insist on a different future.
