Announcement: Generation Equality Forum Postponed
As the situation surrounding COVID-19 evolves, the number of people around the world affected by this disease continues to increase. This global public health crisis has direct implications for the Generation Equality Forum and for gender equality and women’s human rights.

We stand in solidarity with them.
