Did you know?

  • There are only 21 countries with women Heads of State and/or Heads of Government.
  • More than 3/4 of seats in parliaments are still held by men
  • 6.6% of CEOs are women
  • Only 57 of the winners of a Nobel Prize are women (out of more than 900 awardees)
  • Jane Campion is the only female director to win the Palme d’Or in the Cannes Film Festival’s 72-year history. Kathryn Bigelow is the only woman to have won the Best Director Award in the 92-years history of the Oscars
  • Only 24% of the persons heard, read about or seen in Newspaper, Radio & Television news are women.

At the slow speed experienced over the period 2006–2020, it will take 257 years to close the Economic Participation and Opportunity gap.

And it will take 94.5 years to close the gender gap in the Political Empowerment area.

Since 2006 the Global Gender Gap Index has been measuring the extent of gender-based gaps among four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment)

The Generation Equality Forum is a civil-society centered, global gathering for gender equality convened by UN Women and co-hosted by the governments of Mexico and France.

Over 25 years after the landmark Beijing Women’s Conference public rhetoric on gender equality has not been matched by action and implementation. Not a single country today can claim to have achieved gender equality.

The Forum therefore represents a key moment for gender equality advocates from every sector of society — governments, civil society, private sector, entrepreneurs, trade unions, artists, academia and social influencers — to drive urgent action and accountability for gender equality.
