Ageism is an issue of inequality, discrimination, and injustice. Without tackling it, we will not achieve gender equality by 2030. Ageism impacts everyone - young and old. Prejudices surrounding age are widespread and unchallenged - in our attitudes, beliefs, policies, and societies - and create a formidable barrier to young women’s full participation in their communities.

The young people who participated in the first two editions of Gender Debates Café organised during March, are promoters of feminist values, actively working on the implementation of projects facilitating ideas exchange, enhancement of feminist movements image and the necessity to make them more visible both in their communities and at national level.

Every day we have the opportunity to become gender equality champions.Whether we use an inclusive language or we care to respect the needs of every person, regardless of sex, these things help us to create an inclusive society, with a place for everyone.At the same time, the way we discuss at work, with our loved ones or the assumptions we make about people we do not yet know can become a means of promoting inequality.
