Generation Equality: Don t side-line older women!
06/05/2021 After the first meeting of the UN Generation Equality Campaign in Mexico, HelpAge is appealing to leaders, civil society and feminist movements not to side-line older women if they want to achieve the desired progress towards gender equality.

This Forum is deliberately breaking up the ‘old normal’. I want to start by thanking those of us who are joining us in this ‘new normal’. In this Forum, we were joined by at least 10,000 women who registered formally or who followed us on other channels, including YouTube. Women and girls of all ages, racial identities and backgrounds from different regions of the world, brought their leadership and their realities to this virtual stage. This includes the artists who delighted us with music, with painting, with murals – we thank them all. The world has listened to you.
