From June 12th to June 15th 2014,
15 000 people will gather in Malmö, Sweden, to articulate new strategies in
order to promote gender equality and end discrimination against women. The
discussions will be based on the landmark agreements on women’s rights: the
Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Convention on the
Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
During the forum representatives
of the women’s movement, politicians, government officials, researchers,
representatives of NGOs, activists as well as representatives of the private
and public sector will discuss gender issues. The goal is to improve strategies
to promote human rights thus, to bring the debate on gender equality and

answers! We welcome you to pose your questions and give your answers, so that
we together will find solutions, at Nordiskt Forum Malmö 2014 – New Action on
Women’s Rights!
