The GENERATION EQUALITY FORUM: A ONCE IN A GENERATION OPPORTUNITY

#ActForEqual

The Generation Equality Forum is a global movement for gender equality, convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France.

The Forum brings together governments, corporations, NGOs, youth-led groups and Foundations to secure concrete, ambitious, and transformative commitments for gender equality. These are shaped by the Action Coalitions. They are the world’s roadmap for gender equality.

COVID-19 has exposed and accelerated existing gender inequalities. The impact on women and girls has been severe and disproportionate. As we begin to recover from the pandemic, we must put gender equality at the heart of that process.

To make this happen, we all need to play our part

Act For Equal! Join Generation Equality and show people everywhere that, together, we’re standing up for gender equality.

The Generation Equality Forum is on from 30 June - 2 July 2021 in Paris
