Women Political Leaders Summit 2020 at the United Nations in New York,
11-12 June
Dear Speaker Henrik Dam Kristensen,
It is my honour to invite you to establish a delegation of female Parliamentarians to
represent your Parliament and your country at the Women Political Leaders Summit 2020.
Women Political Leaders (WPL) is the global network of female politicians. Its mission is to increase
both the number and the influence of women in political leadership positions.
The Women Political Leaders Summit is the foremost global gathering of female political leaders,
convening women Presidents, Prime Ministers, Ministers, and Parliamentarians from all over the
world.
As a leading promoter of equality for women and men, the United Nations is a beacon for people
and nations around the world, and the ideal place for the Women Political Leaders Summit 2020 to
focus on this year’s major anniversaries for the United Nations, making such
an event especially
poignant.
Thinking about the SDGs and the future of the planet, even if there is no Plan B, we propose moving
to Plan W
–
Women Political Leaders for this World. WPL is determined to make the Decade of Action
a success by building strong communities between women politicians.
