FROM DUBAI TO OSAKA
What are we striving for?
A brighter world is one in which all humans live together in harmony. A world where each individual contributes to shaping the future as a part of the human collective. A world where individuals of all genders coexist in true equality, where mutual respect abounds and where everyone can realize their full potential.
From EXPO 2020 Dubai to EXPO 2025, Osaka, Kansai, Japan, the mission of the Women’s Pavilion is to create a legacy that can be passed on to future generations, and to contribute to unravelling the wisdom of humanity by drawing inspiration from communities across the globe.
