SDG Action weekend 16-17 September

The Midpoint Moment of the Generation Equality journey is taking  place at the UN Headquarters in New York City and online on 17 September 2023. The event, convened by UN Women with the co-leadership of the Governments of Iceland and the United Republic of Tanzania, is a critical moment for Generation Equality as it seeks to assess, energize and grow its bold agenda for gender equality acceleration, building from its launch at the Generation Equality Forum in 2021.

The 2023 Generation Equality Midpoint event provides an important opportunity to mobilize sustained attention to, and investment in, gender equality as an accelerator for the SDGs. This comes at a time when women’s rights are under increased threats globally, and progress has stalled and reversed in more than 30 per cent of the SDGs.
