We have all watched with concern the rapid increase in the numbers of people all over the world, affected by the COVID-19 disease.  The WHO has, on March 11th, 2020, characterized the outbreak of this disease as a pandemic and has called for a comprehensive, all-of-society strategy to prevent infections, save lives and minimize impact.
 
In light of the current global COVID-19 situation, the timelines of the convening of the Generation Equality Forum are being reviewed.
 
The health and wellbeing of participants is our paramount concern and we continue to follow the recommendations of national and international public health authorities concerning the coronavirus (COVID-19). 
 
More information on the revised convening will be available in the next days. In the meantime, we seek your support and solidarity till we have more information to share.
