FHI 360, in partnership with USAID, Plan International USA, MenEngage Alliance, Social Development Direct and the George Washington University Global Women’s Institute, recently hosted one of our most successful Gender 360 Summits to date. Gathering nearly 600 participants from 300 different organizations, we were thrilled to also be named one of the official side events of the White House’s United State of Women Summit! Practitioners, youth and youth advocates came together to explore critical development issues of gender equality, engagement and empowerment of adolescent girls and boys, and gender-based violence.

The FHI 360 team is now hard at work preparing highlights videos, an outcomes document with key Summit takeaways as well as an announcement of upcoming events. In the meantime, I am excited to share some great resources from the 4th global Gender 360 Summit. We'll be back in touch soon and look forward to continuing the conversation!

Warm regards,

Andrea Bertone
Director, Gender Department, FHI 360

Gender norms confine men as well as girls equally. We need to move past these confines. #Gender360Summit
