IGC Generation Equality Commitment

The International Gender Champions Secretariat is collaborating with the United Nations Foundation and the "network of networks" Nest to socialise and deepen stakeholders engagement amongst Champions by sharing information and acting as a conduit.

The I Say No To Sexism - What do you say? Campaign:

The International Gender Champions Secretariat has set a Generation Equality Commitment to re-launch the campaign I Say No To Sexism - What do you say?

The campaign was originally a personal commitment of former UN Geneva Director-General and International Gender Champion Michael Møller.

The objective of the campaign is to:

Encourage IGC Champions to uphold the IGC Gender-Based Violence Pledge. In January 2022, this new Pledge became a core commitment, alongside the Panel Parity Pledge.
Raise awareness of the harm done by casual sexism and gender-based violence from an intersectional approach.
Hold outreach activities, capacity-building and actions to encourage and empower Champions to counter casual sexism and gender-based violence.
Foster a change in the mindsets, change the culture and generate safe environments for all free of stigma, sexism, and violence.
Amplify and mobilise support for transformative change to achieve the goals of the Action Coalition on Gender-Based Violence.
