The Forum focused on strengthening the intersectional discourse and the looking forward feminist agenda. The generation Equality Forum in Mexico started with the «Power» moment of the programme. At the opening plenary global leaders called for bold, unapologetic, and concrete progress towards gender equality, so to turn the promise of the Beijing Platform for Action into a lived global reality. Through smart, targeted and financed actions the Forum would deliberately break the old barriers to the realization of the equal rights of half our population. The unfinished human rights struggle of this century would be tackled through bold commitments and investments on the table, and a strong multi-stakeholder movement for gender equality.

The Thematic Sessions were action-oriented discussions focused on the critical areas of concern of the Beijing Platform for Action in a structural crisis approach. The sessions aimed to strengthen the women's movement and civil society activism, promote high-level political commitment and action and ensure prominent public awareness and support to the gender equality agenda. Experienced feminist moderators directed the conversations between different stakeholders and the audience to ensure a diversity of views. With an emphasis on the importance of intersectional and intergenerational approach, the thematic sessions generated insightful recommendations to the broader agenda of justice and equality and to strategically accelerate progress.
