Nothing showcases the theme of this year's UN General Assembly as clearly as the issues facing women and girls. From gender equity to economic empowerment and security to the deep impact of COVID-19, any discussion of solutions to global challenges needs to include the impact and role of women.

• Special appearance by the Afghan girls Tech Freedom Squad
• Judit Arenas, Gender Practice Lead, Senior Director and Senior Advisor to the Founder and Chair of APCO Worldwide
