2nd Next Generation Forum for Gender Equality “Our Well-being in the Digital Age, Paved by Gender Equality"

On 7 November 2026, UNU will host the Second Next Generation Forum for Gender Equality "Our Well-being in the Digital Age, Paved by Gender Equality" . This event, organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan and co-organized by UNU with cooperation from UN Women, will start at 13:30 in Elizabeth Rose Conference Hall at UNU Headquarters in Tokyo.

Efforts to advance gender equality and women's empowerment continue to evolve in response to changing social and technological realities. In Japan, the 6th Basic Plan for Gender Equality, launched this year, identifies the realization of diverse forms of well-being through gender equality as a key policy pillar and emphasizes the importance of addressing both the opportunities and challenges associated with emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence.

At the international level, UN Women has begun implementing its Strategic Plan 2026–2029, which prioritizes women's leadership and decision-making, women's economic empowerment, ending violence against women and girls, and Women, Peace and Security (WPS) and humanitarian action. Reflecting the growing impact of technology on gender equality, the organization has also adopted a strategy to prevent and eliminate technology-facilitated violence against women and girls. Against this backdrop, empowering and connecting the next generation of leaders who will drive progress towards gender equality will be essential to building a more inclusive, equitable and sustainable future.
