[ cheers and applause ] >> coming up, dakota johnson's commitment to support gender equality and the weekend. for anyone who has misplaced items earlier there will be a lost and found at the nypd tent at the southwest end of the great lawn. please welcome comcast ambassadors and olympic gold medalists jocelyn davidson and monique marandu. >> we are standing up for gender

equality. and we are winning. >> four years ago, my sister, myself and our teammates began fighting usa hockey for more equal treatment. three days before the 2017 world championships, we won that fight. then we went on to win -- >> the championships. putting us on the path to win. >> the gold medal at the pyeongchang winter olympics. >> in over 90 countries worldwide, women's opportunities are explicitly limited by sexist laws. laws that restrict a woman's ability to own property, open a bank account or have legal protection from child marriage. this is not just a problem in developing nations, in the u.s. child marriage is still legal in 48 states and has devastating effects on girls health, education and economic opportunities. tonight we have leaders willing

to take the action necessary to achieve gender equality by 2030 so that she is equal. please welcome executive director of u.n. women, minister of justice for nambia, with senior executive vice president and chief diversity officer of comcast corporation david cohen. >> over 22.5 billion women and girls around the world are prevented from achieving their full potential by discriminatory laws and a lack of legal protection. we need to overturn legislation and instant past good laws to ensure that women and girls are

not left behind. good laws give women access same jobs as men. they give girls the same education as boys. and they give women full control over their sexual and reproductive health and rights. women remain committed to ensuring that by 2030 all laws treat women and men equally. our strategy will support governments in their efforts to change discriminatory laws. we also need you. we need women and men. boys and girls, to work together and call on leaders to level the laws. together we must create a world where equal rights of women and girls are recognized as essential, rooted in law and lived in reality. >> we recognize the fact that

oppressive and discriminatory laws remain a key stumbling block in the advancement of women and girls. the attainment of gender equality and unfetterred participation of women and girls in all spheres of governance is crucial to the building of progressive and strong societies. we are therefore committed to leveling the law by appealing all sexist laws that seek to perpetuate the oppression of woman's voices that act as barriers to equal and political participation. and hinder access to sexual and reproductive health. tonight i take this opportunity to renew our commitment for the protection and advancement of rights of women and girls, and

our belief that only through concerted efforts can we indeed level the law. >> it's an honor and humbling to share the stage with such passionate leaders. corporate america cannot be a bystander on the issue of gender equity. we need to lead. at comcast/nbc universal, we are committed to gender equity. in the people we hire, the leaders we promote, the suppliers we do business with, and the programming we produce and distribute. it is my pleasure to announce that comcast/nbc universal will serve as a mega phone for the commitments and pledges made here. ensuring that the message of gender equality extends well beyond the global citizen stage tonight. for the fifth year, we are

broadcasting live on msnbc, and we will also make the global citizen festival available on demand. we will also use our social and digital platforms to support global citizen and the advancement of women and girls. journalism has the power to raise public consciousness of the pressing issues of our time, and that's what we're going to do. today i am happy to report that across nbc news and msnbc you'll see even more story telling about gender equity. and we're going further. comcast/nbc universal will be rolling out a $5 million public service announcement campaign to put the full strength of our mega phone behind the fight for gender equality and to extend

today's messages over the next year. thank you. >> please welcome, actor dakota johnson. >> hi. hi, everyone. it is 2018 and the rights and dignity of women and girls are under attack as much now as they always have been. for too long women and girls in every corner of the world have faced extreme violence and sexual harassment on a daily basis. for too long women and girls have struggled to receive safe and reliable reproductive health care. women and girls and especially those restricted by their

socioeconomic means too often have little to no power to decide whether, when or how many times they become pregnant. over 800 women and girls die every day because they don't have access to reliable contraceptives and basic maternity services. which is crazy, that's 800 deaths that should and could be prevented every single day. we have been silenced, and we have been told we don't deserve a seat at the table. we are told we are liars. and we have been told to sit down. i believe that every woman and every girl should have access to reliable contraceptives, safe reproductive care and a quality education. and i believe that every woman and girl should be granted the respect and the dignity they deserve.

i believe that we should live in a world where every girl can maximize her potential and have a bright future full of enormous opportunity and success in front of her, because her gender does not limit her capability. i believe that every woman and girl should she desire, should have her voice heard. as a new advocate for global citizens she is equal campaign. i commit to making my voice loud enough for all the girls and women who don't have a microphone or a stage from which to speak. somehow, because of what i do, there are people who care what i have to say, but hi! . i don't want to speak. i would rather listen. i care what you have to say. and i want to help you, women

and girls around the world tell your story. so this is a little bit different. this is my phone. this is my phone number. and i want you to call me. and i want you to tell me your story in a voice mail. or i want you to send me a message @dakota.johnson@global citizen.org. and i want you to tell me what you've gone through in the world. if we don't speak the same language, that's okay, we have a team for that. we can translate it. if you're going to threaten to hurt me, we have a team for that too. i'm going to compile these stories, i'm going to get them heard so i can amplify your

voice. together i think we can achieve a world where she is equal. and now, please welcome the executive director of the unfpa, dr. natalia kanem. >> thank you, dakota. i'm delighted to join with global citizen and time for change in highlighting this critical issue. can we talk about sex? talk about sex. it's important. sexual and reproductive rights are human rights, including family planning. yet globally more than 200 million women and adolescent girls cannot afford or access contraception. and in some places, a three pack of condoms cost more than a day's pay. >> what? >> and for a young person, the

cost of regular birth control pills is completely out of reach. we at unfpa believe the choice can change the world. she is equal. she decides whether, with whom and when to start a family. and she should have access to the services and information that she needs. unfpa is the world's largest supplier of donated contraceptives, join us, we need more champions of choice. please stand up, be counted. and sport our unfpa supplies program. thank you so much. and thank you too, dakota.

>> ladies and gentlemen, danai gerrera. >> good evening, everyone. 130 million girls are not in school today. these are girls whose parents marry them off to men two times, three times their age. girls who are constantly told that their place is in the kitchen and not the classroom. girls with astounding potential inside of them. they may never have the chance to explore. girls for whom gender inequality and discrimination starts early and lasts a lifetime.

our world. it is that legacy that the united nations sees in the 17 global goals you're all here and standing for. and what we here to see is year on year, 2030, that we can take that journey, we can walk that 12 years to try to get to the 2030 goals. and so. i believe that we can do that. do you believe that we can? we can end hunger. we can end sexual harassment and violence against girls. we can certainly ensure that everyone is a digital citizen and we connect the world. tonight let us reinforce what we intend to do by achieving those 17 goals in the next 12 years. what's up, new york. we can do it. please welcome ceo and
