Women Deliver 2026 in Narrm (Melbourne)

The Challenge

A global conference bringing together thought leaders from around the world at a critical moment to align around a shared feminist agenda. Fifty Acres was selected to work alongside the Women Deliver team and other external partners to support media outreach, deliver the conference’s media scholarship program, and prepare for this significant global gathering through a comprehensive media and crisis management strategy.

The Solution

Aligning with Women Deliver’s overarching communications strategy developed by UK-based Shape History, Fifty Acres developed hundreds of story angles and media opportunities for journalists around the world. The media strategy was built around key Women Deliver themes including climate change and gender equity, women’s economic rights and justice, and sexual and reproductive health and rights.

In addition, we provided strategic counsel on the launch of the Melbourne Declaration for Gender Equality, designed as a shared vision for gender equality, outlining what must change and the collective commitments needed to drive accountability.

We also worked closely with the 40 media scholars who attended the conference through the Women Deliver scholarship program, representing countries across the United States, United Kingdom, Africa, Asia and Australia.

The Outcome

Media coverage generated through Women Deliver has reached more than 1.4 billion people globally and continues to grow. We helped strengthen relationships between Women Deliver and journalists from around the world, while amplifying stories that highlighted gender equality challenges and progress across diverse communities, sectors and regions.
