Source: UN Women Asia and the Pacific

Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member States are joining forces to prepare the next Regional Plan of Action on the Elimination of Violence against Women (RPA EVAW). Drawing on almost 10 years of implementing the 2016–2025 Regional Action Plan, an in-depth end-term review process is collecting insights, learning, progress and unfinished business to shape the next 10-year plan.

This process has featured national consultations in seven Member States – Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam – and a major regional gathering. Convened by national governments and representatives of the ASEAN Committee on Women (ACW) and the ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC), the consultations spurred reflection on achievements, challenges and emerging issues for the next RPA EVAW for 2026–2035.
