Amina Doherty speaking on the panel: Fulfilling the Promise of Gender
Equality,
"We're tired of lip service and of 'youth' being a buzzword. We're invited
to the United Nations, but we still don't see our issues on the agenda. We
are the largest generation of young people in history, but are still left
out of decision-making. We want our issues represented in reality,"
See what others had to say!

What have we learned about addressing gender equality from the Millennium
Development Goals? What key priorities must be addressed in the Post-2015
Development Agenda in order to ensure the fundamental human rights and
freedoms of all women, girls and young people are fulfilled?
On the second day of the 2014 Commission on the Status of Women, the
High-Level Task Force for the International Conference on Population and
Development (ICPD), along with the Governments of Denmark and Uruguay,
hosted a side-event to ask leaders in the field these questions. Highlights
and video of their frank and pointed responses are captured

including a recap of the event, photos, webcast and press coverage.
