The FIGO World Congress is a crucial event that not only fosters dialogue and collaboration among leaders, experts, and advocates but also supports FIGO’s charitable work for the next two years. Hosted in partnership with SASOG in Cape Town for the first time since 2009, the event represents a significant moment for the global community to unite in advancing women’s health and rights, with a particular focus on the African continent.

More than 8,000 delegates – including clinicians, researchers, midwives, policymakers, and advocates – will gather under the theme: “Advancing Women’s Health: A Journey of Unity and Freedom.” This powerful message will set the tone for bold, collective action to address urgent challenges facing women and girls globally.

The majority of sessions will be conducted in English, with some offered in French and Spanish. Additionally, some sessions will have AI generated captioned translations between English, French and/or Spanish.
