IN CONVERSATION
One year on from the launch of Generation Equality Forum, and over 25 years since the Beijing Declaration in 1995, progress on gender equality is not happening quickly enough. The achievement of gender equality would have enormous socio-economic ramifications, impacting the lives of people of all genders and identities. Yet, not a single country in the world is on track to achieve gender equality by 2030 and gender inequalities and discrimination are socially and culturally entrenched. This ‘in-conversation’ between the Executive Director of UN Women and an activist who inspired change at a local level will outline the need for gender equality to sit at the forefront of every political decision and policy, in turn advancing progress for every SDG.
