Organized jointly by France and Mexico, the Generation Equality Forum began in March 2021 in Mexico City, and ended in Paris on July 2, 2021. This global gathering in favor of equality between men and women marks the 25th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing.
Publicity
Commitments were made at this meeting to remove the obstacles that systematically prevent women from fully participating in all decision-making bodies in all areas of social life.
25 years later, no country can claim to have achieved the objectives set.
Several barriers hamper the respect of these commitments, including gender-based violence and the lack of funding for feminist associations.
So what can we say! talks about it with three guests:
- Mar Mérita Blat,
gender expert from AFD (the French Development Agency)
- Chantal Naré,
communicator, blogger and feminist from Burkina Faso
- Oumou Salif Touré,
Malian feminist activist and member of the network of young feminists in West Africa, and currently director of the Francophone West Africa program for Global Media Campaign To end FGM.
