WO=MEN
Dutch Gender Platform invites our members and other civil society aiming for
gender equality in the Netherlands to join an online consultation to
share information about the Generation Equality Forum process and discuss
opportunities to engage.
The Generation
Equality Forum (GEF) is a global process created by UN Women. It
aims to celebrate achievements on women’s rights and gender equality since the
Beijing Conference on Women 25+ years ago. The first of two forums took place
in March 2021 in Mexico. The 2nd Generation Equality Forum will take
place 30 June – 2 July in Paris (and mostly online).
WO=MEN is
most directly engaged in the Compact on Women, Peace and Security and
Humanitarian Action and Action Coalition 6 on Feminist Movements and Leadership.
Some of our members are involved in other ways in the Forum. For many of us, it
has been challenging to keep track of developments and plans as the information
provision has been limited and last-minute.
The
upcoming Paris Forum aims to secure commitments from diverse
stakeholders "to achieve immediate and irreversible progress towards gender
equality”. As Catalytic Member of the Compact on Women, Peace and Security
and Humanitarian Action, WO=MEN is invited to select one or more actions to
commit to. We aim to discuss potential commitments to be made in this Generation
Equality process to achieve women’s rights and gender equality for all.
Please do
not hesitate to contact us with any questions about this consultation.
We look
forward to your registration!
Warm regards,
Anne-Floor Dekker, Program Manager Gender, Peace and Security
