The Generation Equality Forum is a global meeting in favor of gender equality, convened by UN Women and co-chaired jointly by the Governments of Mexico and France with the leadership and participation of civil society. The Forum will open in Mexico City (Mexico) from 29 to 31 March 2021 and will conclude in Paris (France) in June 2021.

Twenty-five years after the historical Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of  the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action ––the most comprehensive framework for achieving women’s empowerment and gender equality–– the Forum will take stock of progress and shape an agenda for concrete action to advance gender equality by 2030.

The Forum will be an international public dialogue for urgent action and accountability on gender equality; it will celebrate the power of women’s rights activism, feminist solidarity, and youth leadership to bring about transformational change. It will enable real-time connection around the world through interactive satellite sessions using technology to maximize participation.

The Forum will also reaffirm the value of multilateralism and call for leadership and commitment from various stakeholders ––civil society, governments, academia, international bodies, collectives, community groups, business, cities, parliaments, trade unions, and the media, among others–– with an emphasis on intergenerational and multi-stakeholder partnerships.

In response to the request of the Mexican Government, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (UNOHCHR) decided to support a project focusing on the search of missing persons in Mexico, which is a major national priority. UNFPA is the lead agent in this project and has contracted the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) for the contracting of international personnel to be involved in the project. Under its agreement with UNFPA, UNOHCHR will be co-responsible for the substantive coordination of this group of international experts.

The international experts contracted by UNOPS will be part of the Coordinating Group for the Implementation of the Special Mechanism for Forensic Identification (Mecanismo Extraordinario de Identificación Forense | MEIF).

Data show that disappearances are profoundly linked with gender based violence, and violence directed at children, adolescents and youth. It also tends to affect at the more vulnerable people, such as indigenous people and migrants, as well as human rights activists, environmentalists and those fighting organised crime in a disproportionate manner.

In a world where fundamental human rights are at risk, we need people who embody these international norms and standards, and who will defend them with full conviction.
