This Communique is addressed to G7 leaders, Ministers, and policy makers. It builds on and consolidates the Women 7’s (W7) Communiques from the past seven years  and includes updates from activists around the world.

The challenges facing today’s world are enormous and urgent. Now is the moment for G7 leaders to step up and act.

The Communique calls on G7 leaders to seize this global moment by adopting a transformative agenda that guarantees human rights, upholds gender justice, and protects the bodily autonomy and dignity of all women, girls, and non-binary people.

This includes:

  • Increasing ambition to both systematically and explicitly ensure attention to women’s human rights, LGBTIQ+ rights and gender justice issues across all G7 discussions and address gender equality priorities as a key standalone agenda. It is not ‘either/or.’ Commitments to women’s human rights and gender equality are empty if the analysis and commitments are not explicitly coherent across all major discussions, documents, and priority areas.
  • Recognizing that progress on gender justice is required to address today’s global challenges. 
  • Backing rhetoric with concrete commitments, actions and resources, both monetary and non-monetary (including resources for feminist movements, organizations and networks).
  • Demonstrating leadership and policy coherence based on gender justice and universal human rights and fundamental freedoms both domestically and globally. In order to be credible, consistency across foreign and domestic policy areas is needed.
  • Strengthening (and investing in) gender and age-disaggregated data in order to track and monitor change.


The Annex outlines specific recommendations for G7 leaders in the six areas: 1) Democracy  and support for human rights; 2) Building just and equitable economies; 3) Climate justice; 4) Peace and security; 5) Emerging technology and 6) Accountability and financing. These recommendations draw on past W7 Communiqués and have been crowd sourced from feminist from around the world.
