Moving forward on Gender Equality and Women's Participation

This discussion will be the third in a series, taking forward issues raised at recent IOM and CARE events seeking to amplify women’s voices and increase their participation in humanitarian action.
The aim is to provide safe space for frank dialogue on overcoming perennial blocks and challenges to gender equality in humanitarian management and service delivery.
The format will be separate thematic discussion tables, each with a cross-section of humanitarian actors and member states. Recommendations on next steps will be subsequently presented in plenary, with insights and commentary from an invited panel.
