Generation Equality Forum: Mexico City
The Generation Equality Forum will kick off in Mexico City on 29–31 March 2021, hosted by the Government of Mexico.
With civil society at its core, the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico City will reinforce the power and voice of feminist movements and youth and the commitment and action of different stakeholders, including high-level representatives from Member States, the private sector, and international organizations.
By analyzing progress and gaps since the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, including the heightened urgency posed by the COVID-19 crisis, the event will make the case for strengthened intergenerational and transformative feminist leadership and accelerated action on gender.
As the kick-off for the Generation Equality Forum journey the event will:
- Launch the work of the Action Coalitions and their calls for action for urgent implementation and investment;
- Develop a multilateral feminist agenda to sharpen the Generation Equality Forum vision towards Paris;
- Integrate the formation of a multilateral alliance of countries to promote the gender equality agenda.
The event will include a series of dialogues that will address the structural and systemic obstacles that prevent full gender equality and the human rights of women and girls. It presents a historic opportunity to promote the full implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and is aligned with the feminist foreign policy promoted by the Government of Mexico.
