Intergenerational dialogue on the road to gender equality: Connecting ICPD+25 and Beijing+25

This session will be an intergenerational dialogue between young leaders and long-time activists on how the ICPD Programme of Action and the Beijing Platform for Action interlock. As agents of change in their communities and countries, young people will demonstrate the interlinkages between voice, choice, participation and leadership, while iterating how women and girls’ autonomy over their bodies enables and empowers them to take action and make decisions, including on how to confront discrimination and on young women and men working together to build equitable societies. The recommendations will feed into CSW64 and the Beijing +25 process, as well as reinvigorate implementation of the ICPD Programme of Action.
