The Economic Rights and Justice Action Coalition will propose a targeted set of concrete, ambitious and immediate actions within the period of 2020-2025 to deliver tangible impact on gender equality and girls’ and women’s human rights. The session will serve as a space where members will present goals, tactics and commitments to go towards a 5 year blueprint to achieve gender equality.
The Generation Equality Forum is a multi-stakeholder global gathering that celebrates the power of women’s rights activism, feminist solidarity and youth leadership to and accelerate the implementation of ambitious global commitments for gender equality in the UN Decade of Action as the world builds back better from COVID-19. Over twenty-five years after the historic Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, this landmark effort will bring together actors from diverse sectors – including Governments, civil society, youth actors, private sector, and international organizations – on equal standing to define and announce ambitious investments and policies that will accelerate progress towards gender equality.
The event will take place 8:00AM-10:00AM CST/ 10:00AM-12:00PM EST.
