** Generation Equality Action Pack
January 2020
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
The year 2020 is here, and with it comes a generational opportunity to put women’s rights centre stage. The world has made unprecedented advances, but no country has achieved gender equality.
Fifty years ago, we landed on the moon; in the last decade, we discovered new human ancestors and photographed a black hole for the first time.
In the meantime, legal restrictions has kept 2.7 billion ([link removed]) women from accessing the same choice of jobs as men. Less than 25 per cent ([link removed]) of parliamentarians were women as of 2019. One in three ([link removed]) women experience gender-based violence, still.
Let’s make 2020 count for women and girls everywhere.
This month in Generation Equality, we are featuring New Year’s Resolutions for gender equality, celebrity and activist voices, and unveiling the themes of six Action Coalitions—global, innovative partnerships with governments, civil society, international organizations and the private sector—to be launched at the upcoming Generation Equality Forum, to deliver game-changing results for women and girls everywhere.
