I wish for a future where women, girls, and gender-expansive people have equal opportunities, rights, and access to education, healthcare, and economic resources. Empowerment should be a fundamental right for all. I hope for a world where safety is not a privilege but a given. Freedom from violence, harassment, and discrimination should be universal. May the next 40 years bring powerful stories, art, and cultural expressions that amplify diverse voices and challenge norms.Janeth

I wish for liberation from oppressive systems for us all. There is a future where we are all rested, safe, content, and loved. I look forward to building that future together.Sophie

When we tap into our core value, women, girls, and gender-expansive people feel their worth and importance. My wish is that all people see the power and brilliance of all women in the world.Gloria
