Mumbai : Dia Mirza women leaders gathered recently to discuss initiatives for women empowerment across various sectors. Apart from being a celebrated actress, Dia Mirza actively champions social causes, including environmental protection and promoting female leadership.
During the Women Rise For All lunch, she connected with women leaders from all sectors. Additionally, the ‘Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein’ actress shared highlights from the event on social media.
Reflecting on the experience, Dia wrote, “Women rise, and with them, the world rises… For People, For Planet, For Peace. At the Women Rise For All Lunch during #UNGA80, I witnessed the incredible force of women leaders who bring not just wisdom and experience, but also courage and compassion to the table.”
She appreciated the participation of powerful women from across the globe. Dia highlighted their contributions, noting, “H.E. Amina Mohammed reminded us so powerfully: ‘In the job that gets done – the done are women.’ On this panel, women from across the globe brought their unparalleled power,” including:
-
H.E. Kristrún Frostadóttir, Prime Minister of Iceland
-
H.E. Sahle-Work Zewde, former President of Ethiopia
-
H.E. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former President of Liberia
-
Rebeca Grynspan, Secretary-General of UNCTAD
Moderated by Caitríona Perry, Chief Anchor, BBC News, the session emphasized inclusive leadership. Dia further noted that leadership is not about dominance but about service, inclusion, and creating pathways for peace and progress. She described it as “creating an echo chamber of kindness.”
She concluded, “The Women Rise for All network, led by the indomitable Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed, is more than a call to action—it proves that when women lead, the SDGs move closer to reality. Here’s to forging connections, driving collective momentum, and never forgetting that women’s leadership transforms our world.”
Pakistani activist and motivational speaker Muniba Mazari commented, “What an absolute pleasure to have met you @diamirzaofficial!”
