Ambassador Katalin Bogyay participated at the Barbershop Conference organized by the Permanent Missions of Iceland and Suriname on 14-15 January 2015.
The Conference formed part of the ongoing efforts at the United Nations to engage men in the discourse about gender equality. Launched at the United Nations in September 2014, the HeForShe campaign highlights that gender equality is not only a women’s issue and aims to engage men and boys as agents of change for the achievement of gender equality by encouraging them to take action against inequalities faced by women and girls. Since its launch, over 200,000 men joined the movement from around the world.
To demonstrate their support, male representatives of the Permanent Mission of Hungary to the UN signed up for the campaign on the margins of the Barbershop Conference.
