Follow on Google News | Gender Equality Festival 2021: from Women's Day to the Generation Equality Forum / India ProgrammeThe Generation Equality Forum which set off in Mexico City on 29th March and culminates in Paris on 2nd July is the most significant milestone for gender equality since the Beijing world conference in 1995.
Considering that no country has so far achieved full gender equality, the Forum will foster a series of transformative actions, including investments and policies, to accelerate the progress for gender equality by 2030. Action Coalitions will announce concrete plans of action and bold commitments to this effect, especially in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic which has pushed back progress with respect to equality. In India, a series of events, organised by the Embassy of France / French Institute in India in collaboration with the Alliance Françaises network in India and their partners will take place from March to June. A list of key initiatives is enumerated below. Announcing the programme of activities, H.E. Mr Emmanuel Lenain, Ambassador of France to India, said, "Gender parity and diversity are the cornerstones of civil society and are vital criteria for economic growth. Gender equality is a priority for the French government and is taken into account with respect to all domains, including sustainable development, security, defence, environment, economic policy, and education. Gender parity drives our cultural engagement, our scholarship disbursements for higher education in France, and governs scientific research. I am proud of the rich and diverse set of initiatives that will be held in collaboration with our Indian partners until the Generation Equality Summit in Paris on 2nd July."
