Equal Rights and Equal Opportunities for Women
The theme for the Future of Women 2020 is “The Next Generation of Women: Equal Rights, Equal Opportunities, and Equal Participation. For the next generation of women, we unapologetically seek appropriate measures to ensure the full development and advancement of women and to safeguard their civil, legal and human rights. These are critical for the purpose of guaranteeing girls and women the exercise and enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms on an equal basis with men. Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, political representation, economic participation, inputs in decision-making – all these are fundamental requirements to fuel holistic growth, renewed economies, and sustainable development benefiting humanity at large.
