Day 1 of the Assembly provides participants with the opportunity to join a special event on gender justice. We will hear from high-level church, youth, UN, and civil society leaders why they think it is imperative to work for gender justice and celebrate and showcase our gender justice work from across the alliance. We will also call for enhanced engagement from faith actors to address gender injustice and discuss together how we can move forward.
