Moving forward on gender equality and women’s participation: Recommendations

The event ‘Moving forward on gender equality and women’s participation’ followed three similar recent discussions convened by IOM, The UK Mission in Geneva and CARE International, and UN Women. These events reflect both the urgency of the demand for change, and the growing frustration of humanitarians seeing little high-level action to implement gender-equality resolutions of the World Humanitarian Summit, Grand Bargain, Whistler Declaration and others. At this session, thematic groups of approximately 15 humanitarians each discussed one aspect of humanitarian gender equality programming. An invited rapporteur then summarized the group discussion and made recommendations in plenary.
