Youth Participants

As we discuss the future of gender equality in the EU until 2030 in this Forum, it is important for us to have young people at the table and make their voices heard. Therefore we selected and onboarded 50 young people to join us at the Forum and share their unique ideas and perspectives on the future of gender equality. They will be in conversation with high-level representatives, gender equality experts, and their peers. Discover and read up on the youth participants here.
