Theme: Achieving Gender Equality in One Generation

Join us for this conference and meet inspiring leaders and organizations across the globe who are working to make the dream of gender equality a reality. Over the past 30 years, in hundreds of GERI programs on six continents, tens of thousands of people have ardently envisioned and aspired toward a Gender Healed World. This sustained visionary invocation in the hearts of people across the globe now calls for millions more to join in.

In the coming 30 years, it is time for this vision to become the new global reality—to actually create the Gender Healed World that we all yearn for. Please join us for this conference, and become part of the community of amazing people around the world who are working together to achieve this goal. Global gender harmony is not a fanciful vision; it is a longstanding dream that, together, we are making real.
