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.

“As highlighted by CEDAW General Recommendation No. 40, parity and the full participation of women are the only way to guarantee the exercise of all other rights. It also serves as a safeguard against the discrimination and violence that women face in their daily functions and trajectories in public and political life” affirmed Bibiana Aido, UN Women Regional Director for the Americas and the Caribbean, opening the Regional Intergenerational Dialogue on Women’s Leadership. 

Echoing this call, Marcela Ríos Tobar, Regional Director for Latin America and the Caribbean at International IDEA, emphasized: “Effective parity has helped improve democracies in Latin America. Moving toward balanced representation between women and men in politics is an effective mechanism to strengthen the connection and legitimacy of institutions and to make equality a reality as a pillar of democracy.”

Referring to the European Union’s shared values, Minister Councillor Jesús Moreno Díaz from the Delegation of the European Union to Panama affirmed: “Gender equality is a fundamental pillar of democracy, peace and prosperity. In particular, equal participation in decision-making not only provides a balance that strengthens democracy and promotes its proper functioning, but also reflects in a more accurate way the composition of society, including the interests of women”.
