Open, Safe and Equal – Shaping a Feminist Digital Future
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67) is a “once in a generation” opportunity to build a feminist digital future. This was the urgent message shared by speakers and attendants that participated in the Generation Equality high-level event hosted by UN Women, in collaboration with the United Nations Foundation and the Leaders of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Technology and Innovation for Gender Equality.
A call to place gender equality at the heart of the Global Digital Compact
The choices that will be made to develop shared principles for an open, free and secure digital future for all - the “Global Digital Compact” - will shape the digital transformation of our societies for the years to come. If we fail at intersecting the digital evolution and gender equality, the world will miss out on the opportunity to build a better, safer and more equal future.

At the upcoming 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women, from 7-18 March 2023, UN Women is hosting two flagship side events, alongside many more Action Coalition-led events and activations.

Young feminist voices and civil society leadership were elevated throughout every step of the 2021 Generation Equality Forum’s design processes and advisory mechanisms. In order to ensure that this innovative partnership model is sustained and promoted throughout the Generation Equality journey ahead, a Multi-Stakeholder Leadership Group has been established.

Increase Women's Economic Empowerment by Transforming the Care Economy
As part of the collective work of the Generation Equality Action Coalition on Economic Justice and Rights, the 17 entities leading the work (the ‘Leadership Structure’) co-developed Blueprints on four prioritized Action Areas. Each Blueprint lays out a rationale, presents important data and statistics and defines a powerful vision for success, as well as proposed strategies and tactics that are grounded in collaborative action through bold and, as much as possible, collective stakeholder commitments.
