In the first week of June, thousands of gender equality advocates will head to Vancouver for Women Deliver 2019, the world's largest conference on gender equality and the health, rights, and wellbeing of girls and women.

Quality education is the foundation for gender equality and that’s why the Global Partnership for Education, Malala FundPlan InternationalUNESCO and UNGEI have joined forces to highlight the power of education.

The Education Hub, hosted within the conference’s Fueling Station, will bring together partners from across sectors to discuss how Girls + Education = Power. Progress. Change.
