We hope you can join us on October 21st in New York City for our marquee annual event.
In its 15th 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.
This year’s theme, Choose Courage, recognises courage not as a feeling, but as a deliberate decision that helps drive progress even in the face of uncertainty and resistance. Our Gala is an opportunity for us to Choose Courage together and highlight what becomes possible when individuals, institutions, and movements act with conviction.
With music, comedy, and powerful storytelling, we will gather over 350 leaders and changemakers who share a commitment to advancing equality and human rights to celebrate those who are leading with courage to create a more just and equal future for all women and girls.
The event will include a 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.
