At a time when the world is facing multiple crises, preventing the roll-back of the progress that women have achieved in the last decades towards gender equality requires a wide-ranging collaboration among governments, civil society, academia, social movements, the United Nations, and the private sector. Everyone must prioritize gender equality in policies and interventions.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.

Personal Commitments

Advocate for research on gender equality and taking an intersectional approach whenever relevant to the issue at hand. This entails, but is not limited to, considering class, race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation and gender identity, and migrant status, as well as highlighting the specific needs of women and girls. As part of this, continue promoting UNRISD's training course on intersectionality.
Advocate for the use of research and evidence to contribute to creating more effective interventions and policies to support national care systems, in line with our Membership of the Global Alliance for Care.
