On this International Women’s Day, UNDP and UN Women reaffirm their commitment to cooperate for gender justice, women’s rights and representation. Accordingly, the Gender Justice Platform offers a new vehicle for partnership, galvanizing progress in joint implementation of gender justice initiatives. Implemented through UNDP’s Global Programme for Rule of Law, Human Rights, Justice and Security for Sustainable Peace and Development, the platform seeks to empower women to know their rights and have access to fair, people-centred justice services, particularly in contexts affected by conflict, crisis, and fragility.
This event has also served to launch the most recent joint publication ‘Women’s Meaningful Participation in Transitional Justice: Advancing Gender Equality and Building Sustainable Peace’. Supported by the Gender Justice Platform, this study presents lessons from various contexts where entire groups and societies benefitted from women’s influence on transitional justice processes. UNDP and UN Women shared recommendations for UN policy and programming on how to promote women leadership in transitional justice. Colleagues from country offices reflected on their successes and challenges on the ground.
Agenda:
Opening remarks by Ms. Asako Okai, Assistant Secretary-General and Director the Crisis Bureau in UNDP, and by Ms. Åsa Regnér, Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director, UN Women (via video message).
The concept note with the programme (in English, Spanish and French) and the event flyer are added as attachments.
