Women in 2026 are Leading the Change
In this pivotal moment of history, we are called to confront a range of overlapping global challenges. These issues are deeply intertwined – and women, particularly from marginalized communities,
often experience their impacts most acutely.
Yet women have also led the charge toward lasting solutions.
“Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future” expands our understanding of sustainability beyond just environmental concerns. It encompasses financial sustainability, community resilience, leadership succession, and intergenerational equity. Whether developing green technologies, advancing economic justice, strengthening education systems, or building civic power – women are designing blueprints for sustainable transformation. This theme affirms that shaping a sustainable future means fostering systems that support both people and the planet.
For 2026, the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) proudly presents the theme: “Leading the Change: Women Shaping a Sustainable Future”
This theme honors the women who have and are reimagining and rebuilding systems to ensure long-term sustainability- environmental, economic, educational, and societal. It recognizes the powerful leadership of women in creating a future that is rooted in equity, justice, and opportunity for all. From environmental advocacy to financial reform, from community organizing to policy innovation, women are at the forefront of driving holistic change. Their leadership is not only addressing today’s most urgent challenges – it is laying the foundation for a more resilient and inclusive tomorrow.
Goals & Objectives
- Honor: Celebrate the diverse contributions of women who are leading sustainability efforts across environmental, economic, educational, and social justice movements.
- Educate: Raise awareness about the important historical and contemporary roles of women in shaping sustainable change.
- Inspire: Empower individuals and institutions on how to take action toward sustainability, equity, and justice in their own spheres of influence.
- Connect: Build bridges across generations, geographies, and disciplines to foster collaboration, mentorship, and shared learning.
- Envision: Encourage a long-term vision for our future where women’s leadership is central to thriving communities and a healthy planet.

About Dr. Anita
AUTHOR | SPEAKER | CONSULTANT
Dr. Anita Jack-Davies
My life’s mission is to write and teach the world about social justice and I’m passionate about my life’s work. I’ve been involved in the field of inclusion and belonging for 20 years, since starting my first job as a teacher at a Toronto-based inner city school and working in low-income schools for the first five years of my career.
Based on my experiences teaching in urban and inner-city contexts, I went on to earn a PhD in urban teacher education, specializing in teaching teachers how to work in communities marked by increasing poverty, immigration and diversity.
Upon completing my doctoral degree, I started my boutique DEI consulting practice and have worked with Canadian agencies as The Privy Council’s Office (Government of Canada), Global Affairs Canada, Corrections Canada, the RCMP, Queen’s University, Toronto Metropolitan University, Durham Regional Police and the Kingston Police.
As an academic, I’ve taught courses at both the graduate and undergraduate level, including Gender Studies and Cultural Geography. Today, I work as an HR Management Consultant in New York City. I specialize in helping organizations transform their cultures to reflect inclusion and belonging with a focus on strategic planning. I welcome the opportunity to work with your team.
