ABOUT THE FORUM

What is it about?

The Generation Equality Forum is a major global inflexion point for gender equality that calls for global key stakeholders at all levels to define permanent acceleration plans and programmes in equality, leadership and opportunity for women and girls worldwide. With the current gender equality crisis exacerbated with COVID-19, the Forum offers a critical opportunity to confront the action and implementation of the Beijing Women’s Conference to get gender equality progress back on track.

Who is part of it?

The Generation Equality Forum is a civil-society centred, global gathering for gender equality convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France. The Forum calls and brings together governments, corporations and change-makers from all over the world to define and announce ambitious investments and policies to progress gender equality.
