[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]”Time to Deliver” was the motto of the W7 Summit 2022 which took place from 24 to 25 May in Berlin. The National Council of German Women’s Organizations (Deutscher Frauenrat) hosted the hybrid event in a live TV studio. While a small group of 40 W7 activists and political leaders attended the studio in person, 591 representatives of civil society and the public sector registered for the two-day event online.

Previous to the summit, 64 W7 Advisors from 24 countries had gathered in working groups for several months to develop policy demands to G7 leaders. They agreed upon a joint declaration, the W7 Communiqué and Implementation Plan.  At the W7 Summit, President of the National Council of German Women’s Organizations, Dr. Beate von Miquel, handed over the two declarations to G7 President and German Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz. “It is high time to see actions, results and clear commitments by the G7 on gender equality”, von Miquel said during the handover.

„50% of humanity must hold 50% of power. And the G7 in particular needs to live up to that standard.”,  Chancellor Scholz stated during his keynote and emphasized that the perspectives of women are to be integrated into all fields of policy-making. The keynote was followed by a Q&A with Scholz and W7 Advisors where the group exchanged on key demands of the W7 Communiqué and critically reflected on the role of gender equality in the G7 program.
