Women educate the world and are the heart of the global education union movement.

Women make up the majority of educators and outnumber men in most education unions. Yet, this is far from reflected in decision-making or union leadership.

Furthermore, despite all the progress we have made, the education workforce continues to suffer from low salaries, poor working conditions and excessive work, and high levels of stress and emotional labour. These factors are fuelling the global teacher shortage and are putting the right to education at risk.

At the same time, far-right and conservative forces are gaining ground, threatening to erase decades of progress on gender equity and civil rights. Women education unionists are also united in the fight against discriminatory structures, gender-based violence, and barriers to leadership.

We must harness our collective power to elevate women’s leadership and effect gender equity across unions, education, and society. We must rise united for gender justice.

The 5th Education International World Women’s Conference will be a transformative global forum and rally for gender equity. Under the theme Rising united for gender justice: Educating the world, leading change, fighting for democracy, the Conference will bring together women education unionists from all around the globe and provide an inclusive, safe, and inspiring space for in-depth discussion, knowledge sharing, strategising, and action.
