Iceland

“Iceland will continue to be a champion of gender equality and empowerment of women, along with many other committed member states. At the beginning of this year I co-hosted, with my colleague from Suriname, a successful Barbershop conference, here at the UN. The aim was to join others in getting men more active on gender equality. I saw it as support for the HeForShe campaign run by UNWOMEN. In the light of this success, Iceland intends to host Barbershops in other international organizations that we are members of.”
