In its 14th year, our annual Make Equality Reality Gala is a one-of-a-kind, arts-based celebration that brings together visionary leaders, powerful performances, and global changemakers committed to advancing gender equality.

Join us in New York on October 14th at Cipriani, 25 Broadway as we choose joy as an act of resistance and strength.

In a world marked by fear, scarcity, and division, this evening will remind us that love, unity, and joy are stronger together. With music, comedy, and powerful storytelling, we’ll gather over 300 philanthropists, creatives, business leaders, and activists for an unforgettable celebration of resilience. Together, we honour those who remain steadfast in their commitment to a joyful, just, and equal future for women and girls.

You’ll enjoy an open bar cocktail reception, a gourmet seated dinner, and a post-program celebration with passed desserts at one of New York City’s premier venues, offering an immersive multimedia experience.
