Generation Equality is a global initiative that aims to drive change through a multigenerational and multi-stakeholder approach, focusing on key issues like equal pay, fair distribution of unpaid care work, eradicating gender-based violence, healthcare access, and increasing women’s political participation. The third edition of the Generation Equality Accountability Report presents findings from the 2024 Commitments Reporting Survey. A year after the 2023 mid-point assessment, 53 per cent of Commitment Makers reported on 71 per cent of their commitments - a significant 40 percentage point increase from 2022. Notably, 160 Commitment Makers reported for the first time, reflecting growing engagement and accountability. This momentum is further evidenced by the USD 50.3 billion pledged towards gender equality by governments, the private sector, and multilateral organizations. Additionally, the Women, Peace, and Security and Humanitarian Action (WPS-HA) Compact highlighted that global instability affected 52 per cent of signatories, prompting 42 per cent to intensify efforts in conflict-affected regions. The report underscores Generation Equality's critical role in advancing gender equality within the 2030 Agenda. An overwhelming 94 per cent of Commitment Makers advocate for scaling up Generation Equality’s actions beyond 2026. The Accountability Report illustrates how Generation Equality has become a powerful catalyst, aligning with the vision of the 2024 Summit of the Future, particularly in promoting effective global cooperation and accelerating progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals.

In the UN Decade for Action on Gender Equality, people around the world have pledged to move from rhetoric to action and to work together to drive lasting change, starting now. Through the 2021 Generation Equality Forum in Mexico and France, world leaders and partners committed to eliminating gender inequalities and to financing and implementing laws, policies, and programmes to meet priority actions and targets in a Global Acceleration Plan for Gender Equality. The aim is simple but profound: deliver irreversible, quantifiable results for women and girls in all their diversity. Together, commitment makers and signatories of a series of Action Coalitions, along with the Compact for Women, Peace and Security and Humanitarian Action have begun to build an ambitious global movement. It unites diverse partners committed to collective accountability for women and girls. This accountability is the driving force of this report, which takes stock of the bold commitments made at the Forum one year into implementation. Through a survey of commitment-makers, the report sheds light on the nature of the commitments and assesses measurable progress. It highlights trends and notes where more work is needed. Generation Equality was born from the idea that the world could make catalytic progress on gender equality if a wide range of stakeholders united around a transformative vision and worked together to achieve it. These preliminary findings demonstrate that, while more remains to be done, collective action is powerful in making commitments real in the lives of women and girls.
