The < A+ > Alliance was named Global Leader for Generation Equality’s Action Coalition: Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality for the 2020-2025 term.
What is the Generation Equality Forum?
The Generation Equality Forum —a global gathering for gender equality, convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France in partnership with civil society— announced the leaders of the Generation Equality Action Coalitions, to achieve gender equality and all women’s and girls’ human rights. The Action Coalitions will deliver concrete and transformative change for women and girls around the world in the coming five years.
The Action Coalitions focus on six themes critical for achieving gender equality: gender-based violence, economic justice and rights, bodily autonomy and sexual and reproductive health and rights, feminist action for climate justice, feminist movements and leadership, and technology and innovation for gender equality.
Our work
The Action Coalition will come together to co-design concrete, game-changing blueprints for action to be implemented over the next five years. Beginning in September 2020, a set of virtual public conversations will mobilize and capture women’s and young people’s voices to inform the Action Coalitions. The Action Coalition Blueprints will then be refined at the Generation Equality Forum in Mexico City, during the first part of 2021, and officially launch at the Generation Equality Forum in Paris, later in 2021.
