The “Radical Impatience” of Young People | Gen Z Views On Gender Equality | GZERO World

How much of the improvements around gender equality over the past 10 years have been the result of a younger generation refusing to tolerate an outdated perception of women? Generational changes have been a pivotal force, says the UN's top global advocate for women, Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka.

UN Women Executive Director Mlambo-Ngcuka's conversation with Ian Bremmer is part of the latest episode of GZERO World, which began airing on US public television stations nationwide on Friday, March 19. Check local listings.
