Cleopatra Fitzgerald Advocates for Gender Equality and Non-Discrimination at UN Africa Summit

The United Nations Open for Business Africa Summit 2025 brought together international leaders and advocates to address economic development and social progress across the African continent. Cleopatra Fitzgerald attended the high-level event alongside her mother, highlighting their shared dedication to public awareness initiatives that promote collaboration and investment while showcasing African cultural achievements, innovation, and heritage.

Throughout the summit, participants engaged in various activities including speeches, poetry readings with dramatic elements, musical performances, and storytelling sessions aimed at fostering global partnerships. The event served as a platform to advance public awareness of African achievements, notable individuals, and cultural heritage while addressing societal and economic challenges through sustainable advancements. The initiative specifically emphasized the importance of global collaboration and business opportunities in driving progress across communities.

A central focus of the summit was advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal #5 focused on achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. President Djibril Diallo led attendees in raising the symbolic Red Card as a gesture of collective commitment to ending all forms of discrimination against women and girls. Fitzgerald participated in this significant moment while engaging with Diallo and other international leaders about her broader advocacy mission.

Fitzgerald's Cosmic World Causes initiative aligns with the summit's objectives by emphasizing nondiscrimination for all beings, extending advocacy efforts across human and non-human communities. Her long-standing commitment to tolerance, gender equality, global peace, and security resonates with both UN global goals and Diallo's dedication to gender equality and non-discrimination. During the event, Fitzgerald expressed that attending the UN and interacting with diverse individuals reinforced her belief that every person has a unique mission in life and deserves respect without discrimination.

She stated, "Attending the UN and listening, meeting, speaking to a diversity of people aligned with my public advocacy and Cosmic World Causes in that each person has a mission in life and that each person is special and should not be discriminated against. To respect each person, even non-human entities, supernatural beings and be open to global differences and partnerships that are beneficial to societal breakthroughs."

The summit featured various multimedia components, including a livestream from UN Africa Open for Business Summit showing Fitzgerald's participation. Additional footage available on YouTube captured moments of recognition for notable women during the event. These recordings document the collective efforts toward advancing gender equality and non-discrimination principles that formed the core of the summit's mission.

The Open for Business Africa initiative continues to serve as a vital platform for promoting public engagement and unity toward shared global objectives, particularly in addressing discrimination and advancing sustainable development across the African continent and beyond.
