(Watch live –) International Gender Equality Prize will be awarded in Tampere, Finland on 8 December

 

Finland will award the International Gender Equality Prize for the fifth time. The prize is awarded to a person or organisation that has made a significant international contribution to gender equality.

The award ceremony can be followed live on Yle Areena (Yle Areena) starting at 17:30.

As part of the prize programme, the City of Tampere will host an afternoon symposium on Monday, 8 December, at Tampere Hall.
