Young women and girls are leading movements calling for economic, social and environmental justice and systemic transformation to combat poverty, end discrimination and racism--and they are doing so unapologetically. #GenerationEquality#CSW65

- Race and ethnicity
- Sex or gender
...& more
This is why we need an intersectional approach for defending human rights.
