It's Time for the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico!

The Generation Equality Forum kicked off today, and we are excited to share all the important details and highlights with you.
The goal of the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico City is to generate urgent action and accountability on gender equality, spotlighting the power of women's rights activism, feminist solidarity and the leadership of the youth to achieve transformative change. The event takes place a quarter century after the historic Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, the most comprehensive framework for achieving women's empowerment and gender equality.

The Forum in Mexico City will review progress we have made since then and shape a programme of concrete measures to advance gender equality between now and 2030. The Forum will culminate in Paris, France ([link removed]) , from 30 June – 2 July 2021.

This global event represents a key moment for gender equality, focusing on four main concepts and moments: Power, Crisis and Hope, Action, and Celebration.
