NEW YORK, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders involved in the 2021 Generation Equality Forum have called for bold new global commitments to catapult progress on gender equality. The Action Coalitions of the Forum are new and innovative partnerships –including governments, feminist and youth movements and organizations, the private sector and international organizations. They will today preview the actions they view as critical to creating gender-equal societies as the world rebuilds post COVID-19. The leaders will also call for others to join them as commitment makers in their milestone effort to accelerate investment and implementation for women and girl's rights. Their urgent call reflects concern that gender equality – set back by the COVID-19 pandemic – needs redoubled investment and focus if the world's women and girls are not to fall behind.
