Girls, joined by the Ambassador of the Slovak Republic to the
UK, agreed with cross-party representatives of the National
Council of the Slovak Republic to enhance cooperation on
advancing the rights and equality of women and girls in all
spheres of life.
United in purpose and solidarity, they pledged to:

champion the rights, dignity and agency of all women and
girls in their countries, the Slovak Republic and the United
Kingdom, and through their legislatures
-
advance policies, legislation, reforms and practices that
support the rights and equality of women and girls
-
work together to eradicate all forms of violence and
discrimination against women and girls

making
