WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND GENDER EQUALITY

THE GENEVA CENTRE GIVES PROMINENCE TO WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND TO THEIR EMPOWERMENT IN ALL SPHERES OF THE SOCIETY. OUR EVENTS AND INITIATIVES AIM AT ENCOURAGING OPEN DEBATES AND FOSTERING JOINT EFFORTS FOR GENDER EQUALITY IN THE GLOBAL NORTH AND IN THE GLOBAL SOUTH.

Despite undeniable achievements, women’s rights remain challenged, inequality persists, and gender stereotypes and expectations are still deeply entrenched in societies. These universal challenges affect all regions of the world, to various degrees, and require the international community to work together and to tackle this scourge through cooperation.
