PEOPLE: The Pact for the Future for People: Equality and Care

Interpretation   AR – CHI – EN – ES – FR – KO – RU – TR

Local and regional governments need to be at the forefront of a new way of doing politics – one that, by building on feminist values, contributes to fostering social justice and gender equality as the indispensable building blocks of any just, sustainable, and thriving society. This plenary session will foster a dialogue between representatives of local and regional governments and other actors, including national and international representatives and partners, on the Pact for the Future of People as a driver to accelerate the development of caring societies based on feminism and local service provision, i.e. municipal feminism, health beyond healthcare, human rights, migration, peacebuilding and city diplomacy, or culture.
