A Platform For Action

Organizations around the globe are utilizing Relay movie events to help them re-ignite governments, civil society, businesses, and other stakeholders — as well as to fully implement their commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #5.

As part of a UN Women’s Generation Equality Action Coalition initiative, Pioneers in Skirts is a #GEFAccountabilityChampion platform that works with activists to:
  • Elevate existing global and local advocacy programs that aim to achieve a gender-transformative impact on structures and systems.
  • Facilitate dialogue and the sharing of perspectives, and center the voices of historically marginalized groups.
  • Collect data for analysis (via the post-screening survey)
