Fifteen years after the Beijing World Conference on Women and 10 years after the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), within a current context of profound and shifting economic, political, social and cultural changes, there is a need for:

• Revisiting gender-equity dynamics and policies across the many dimensions of human experience, building upon the lessons we have learnt, their foundation, scope and reach, while we outline future pathways.
• Furthering the innovative energy of gender studies while we work towards social change, transforming both policy making and social action.

The aim of the Conference is to provide an environment for brainstorming of innovative approaches. Our goal is to encourage a comprehensive, in-depth exploration of gender-equity and gender-parity policies and institutions in light of challenges and opportunities both for today and the future.
