tunis forum on gender equality flyer

Thank you for participating in this online consultation.The final set of recommendations which emerged from this theme at the Tunis Forum on Gender Equality can be found here.


It is our pleasure to welcome you to the on-line consultation on the Tunis Forum for Gender Equality 2019. This consultation will take place from 1 – 28 February 2019. This consultation provides an opportunity for all those interested in gender equality to influence the agenda of the Tunis Forum for Gender Equality and contribute to the global debate for 2019 and 2020.

The Tunisia forum will be a follow up to the Stockholm Forum held in April 2018 The focus in Tunisia will be on reclaiming the gender equality agenda before Beijing +25. We will be looking for the key participation of women and men under 35 who can help frame priorities for the future.  Whilst global awareness of the importance of gender equality and awareness of the ubiquitous nature of violence against women has increased, so has the conservative backlash. As we prepare for key events in 2020, including both the 25th anniversary of the Beijing platform for action and the 20th anniversary of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, we want to ensure that a young voice looking to the future is predominant. 
 

To take this discussion forward, we propose the following two questions:

  1. In 2020, 25 years after Beijing, no country in the world has achieved gender equality. Based on what we know now, since the Beijing conference in 1995, where should our focus lie? What must be the top critical issues to galvanize the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action and the gender equality commitments of the SDGs to achieve equality by 2030?
  2. Are there key issues that should be put on the agenda that were missed 25 years ago?

 

Remember, those who are particularly engaged in the online consultation may also receive an invitation to attend in person. If you would like to recommend individuals, preferably from different areas of society, who would be relevant and interested in being invited to the Tunis Forum, please visit use this form (the deadline is 20th February 2019).

We look forward to a lively and engaged discussion. 

1 Feb 2019 - 27 Feb 2019
