A Roadmap for Action
The survey reveals that the public expects leaders to act now to turn the tide. Published ahead of this year’s Generation Equality Forum and as the world works to build a healthier, more equitable future, the study's findings offer a roadmap of priority actions that governments, the private sector, and civil society should focus on to accelerate progress on gender equality.  

Leaders must match words with action by:
  1. Making bigger, bolder commitments and taking meaningful action
  2. Matching commitments with financing and accountability measures
  3. Fostering collaboration across Generation Equality Action Coalitions
  4. Addressing harmful gender norms 
  5. Eliminating discriminatory laws 
  6. Investing in gender-disaggregated data  
  7. Applying a gender lens to the COVID-19 response
  8. Ensuring that investments, policies, and programs equally benefit all girls and women
