UN Women Campaign. Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights

I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights.

Women’s rights and gender equality are taking centre stage in 2020.

 

Twenty-five years since the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action—a progressive roadmap for gender equality—it’s time to take stock of progress and bridge the gaps that remain through bold, decisive actions.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day was, “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”.

 

Around the world and through the decades, we have all shared in the global struggle for gender equality. Regardless of our age, country, background or gender, the fight for equal rights has collectively defined our lives and we must take action together to achieve it. This International Women’s Day, UN Women’s multi-generational campaign, Generation Equality, brings together past and present advocates to demand gender equality in this generation.
