HeForShe Congress 2019

The topic of gender equality is being discussed more and more worldwide today. Although 77% of Ukrainians agree that gender equality is important to them, a deep understanding of it remains a prerogative of a limited number of experts. It can often seem that the discussion of feminism and equality in general remains in a kind of bubble.

The main idea behind the HeForShe Solidarity Movement is to promote equality and feminism, with men and boys playing a key role, as well as bringing in new faces, new ideas and new industries.

That is why this year UN Women in Ukraine decided to go beyond the format of public speaking at a conference.
We invite you to become an observer of the social experiment that will take place on October 17th at M17 Contemporary Art Center  – http://heforshecongress2019.com.ua/
