(RED)’s CEO, Deborah Dugan, Speaks Tonight at UN Event: Every Woman, Every Child

This evening, (RED)’s CEO, Deborah Dugan will speak at the UN Event: Every Woman, Every Child. Hosted by UN Special Envoy for Malaria and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Advocate, Ray Chambers, leaders from the worlds of business, politics, health, culture, and media will discuss the role of maternal and child health in achieving the Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

The health of women and children is at the heart of the Millennium Development Goals. Without addressing the needs of these two populations – at once the most vulnerable members of society and the two groups with the greatest potential to transform the word – we cannot achieve broader goals around poverty, equality, defeating disease, or environmental sustainability.

The evening will host numerous illustrious speakers including Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, Desmond Tutu, Christy Turlington Burns, Jennifer Connolly, 50 Cent, Deepak Chopra, President Kikwete (Tanzania), Princess Cristina (Spain), Rajiv Shah (USAID), Tony Lake (UNICEF).

Tonight’s conversation promises to be a dynamic and informative platform to bring new people, organizations, and sectors into the race to meet the Millennium Development Goals.
