Abstract
On the occasion of International Women’s Day 2023, we decided to ask several outstanding women and men who work from different perspectives on women and girls’ rights around the world to share some thoughts on what they believe are the most important battles to be fought at the moment, in their respective areas. We asked human rights activists, scholars and practitioners to share their thoughts and draw some important recommendations for the future. We are very much indebted to them for their contributions to our discussion as well as for their daily struggles to advance women’s rights worldwide.
