The largest conference on gender equality engaged youths in an unprecedented way by giving them space to speak onstage as speaker from almost all sessions including panels. The conference also designed a Youth Zone where visitors are invited to problem-solving alongside leading young entrepreneurs in their journey to promote gender equality worldwide. “Consent education from the early life of a boy or girl’s education will teach them anyone can say ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to anything. The Women Deliver says they have invited more than 1,000 youths this time. “They deserve to be taken seriously with youth-forward programming customised for their needs and interests,” Women Deliver said about the rationale of giving priority to youths.
