The 2020 global IWD theme is Generation Equality.
Generation Equality is a call to action to join forces across generations, to create a world where every girl and woman has equal opportunities to fulfil their full potential. Equal access to education and income are central to levelling the playing field for women around the world.
Half a billion of the world’s illiterate adults are women. This trend has not changed in 20 years. UN Women is actively working to change that.
Join talented SBS MCs and UN Women’s Sonali Hedditch, along with local partners Luz Restrepo, CEO of SisterWorks and Wendy Yarnold, CEO of Real Futures, for a heart-warming, thought provoking panel discussion on UN Women’s pioneering Second Chance Education program. The Second Chance Education program is unlocking learning and earning pathways for migrant and refugee women, and Indigenous women in Australia and in six other countries worldwide.
