We at the Global First Ladies Alliance were honored to attend the High-Level Side Event of the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen Global Platform, held on September 23, 2024, in New York. This pivotal gathering addressed the critical theme of “Securing the Future for Children: Addressing New Challenges for Soft Power,” underscoring our collective commitment to safeguarding the rights and well-being of the world’s youth. In the context of the Summit of the Future and the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly, esteemed leaders from across nations convened to share insights, research, and personal narratives that illuminated the multifaceted threats children face today. The event, organised by the Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen Global Plaform, emphasized the urgent need for global partnerships to restore children’s rights and ensure their safety in an increasingly complex world. Key contributions from First Ladies and high-ranking representatives highlighted the critical importance of creating safe, inclusive environments conducive to learning and growth. With discussions revolving around pressing issues such as mental health, educational access, and the impacts of conflict, the collective voices called for immediate action and innovative solutions to protect our youngest citizens. This dialogue not only marked a significant step towards a brighter future for children but also reinforced our unwavering resolve to foster collaboration and compassion on a global scale. Together, we reaffirmed that defending our children today is essential for nurturing a secure tomorrow. We’re honored to continue our partnership with The Summit of First Ladies and Gentlemen as we work towards supporting First Ladies and partners worldwide.
