While progress towards gender equality has been made, there’s still much work to be done.
Annemarie believes that a person’s opportunities in life shouldn’t be determined by their background, circumstances, or gender. She has witnessed how, in recent years, progress on gender equality has been uneven – and in some parts of the world, even reversed. While more girls attend school and more laws protect against gender-based violence, too many women and girls are still denied their basic rights. These realities have shaped her work over the past 15 years, as she brings together legal expertise and field-based insights to translate knowledge into impact. She collaborates with the United Nations, the European Union, consultancy firms, research institutes, universities, international NGOs, and local grassroots organisations to advance the rights of women and girls.
