Content: 2020 is the year for women’s movements because the international focus on gender equality gives us a platform to set in motion our vision for the future. Starting now, global women’s movements are building alliances, collecting information, identifying strategies, and analysing current global agreements to finalise a global plan to present at the various Beijing+25 review processes. Establishing an action plan early will ensure that the vision for a better world is articulated consistently across different platforms in 2020. Join us! Our Women’s Action for Voice and Empowerment (WAVE) program will accompany our partners and other women from Asia and the Pacific to international events across 2020, ensuring their unique voices, diverse knowledge, and innovative solutions can inform and lead the next ten-year agenda to achieve gender equality. If you’re a gender equality activist who would like to join this movement, follow WAVE’s Facebook page for insights and opportunities as well as updates from the women participating in these events. As this will be the moment where women’s movements demand action and partnership from governments and policy makers, we want to share your visions for the future in these spaces. Our goal is to build alliances and networks to ensure diverse women have a say in the next ten years, because our voice is stronger and louder when we work together. WAVE Movement Series
Given the universal and pervasive nature of gender inequality, the women’s movement cannot advocate from just one change, but must advocate for systemic change. This can only be done when women, organisations and causes are both strong and connected.
