At the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), Ankita Yadav, our representative, had the honour of bidding farewell to Patricia Scotland, the outgoing Commonwealth Secretary-General, during the Commonwealth Women’s Forum: Collective Action for a Resilient Commonwealth – Solidarity for Gender Equality.
The Commonwealth Women’s Forum brings together delegates from across the Commonwealth nations to celebrate and highlight the political, economic, and societal contributions of women. This forum serves as a platform to identify policies aimed at advancing gender equality and fostering peace for all.
Key outcomes from the Commonwealth Women’s Forum are set to inform discussions among Commonwealth leaders, focusing on the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. The aim is to ensure that women and girls are included at the highest levels of decision-making on issues that directly impact their lives.
In a significant development during the 27th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM 2024) held in Apia, Samoa, Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey, Ghana’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, has been elected as the new Secretary-General of the Commonwealth.
