Gender Equality & You: Visions and actions for gender equality
As a participatory conference, Gender Equality and YOU brought together 260 participants from all over Europe to take part in an open dialogue about the future priorities for the work on gender equality of the EU.
This event by the Austrian Presidency of the EU was hosted by the Austrian Federal Chancellery, in partnership with the Austrian Youth Council (OJV) and the European Youth Forum.
By actively involving young people, youth representatives and experts from NGOs and administrations, and by facilitating discussions between them and Ministers for Gender Equality, the conference ensured that young people’s visions and needs regarding gender equality are being heard and taken into account.
