CSW 66: One decade on: How gender-sensitive are our parliaments now?

To commemorate a decade of Gender-sensitive parliaments and take stock of parliaments’ achievements in transforming their institutions to enable women’s full and effective participation and deliver on gender equality, the Inter-Parliamentary Union and UN Women are organizing this event – “One decade on: How gender-sensitive are our parliaments now?” – on the occasion of the 66th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. The side event presents an opportunity to assess how gender-sensitive and inclusive parliaments have become, share experiences, good practices and innovations. Discussions will inform future gender-sensitive parliaments implementation and outreach. Additional sponsors, including Ireland, Canada and Sweden, are anticipated. This side event will provide simultaneous interpretation in French, English, Spanish and Arabic.

Please note that this side event will be broadcasted live on IPU's website and on the UN Web TV.
