The is a landmark global initiative, hosted by the governments of Mexico and France and convened by UN Women in partnership with youth and civil society. The Forum is driving commitments in 6 thematic areas – – that include as a central component of Building Back Equal from COVID-19 and fuel significant and lasting change for generations to come.
These commitments are essential to accelerating investment in and implementation of concrete actions on gender equality across the world and they will be made public at the Paris Forum through a virtual World Map of Commitments.
I call upon women worldwide to be inspired by the extraordinary achievements of the Beijing Declaration and to take control and full leadership in every aspect of life and domain of society to build back a better future for all.
