On behalf of the Special Representative on Gender Equality of Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe's Parliamentary Assembly (OSCE PA), Dr. Hedy Fry, we are pleased to invite you to register for the upcoming Consultation Call with Civil Society, taking place online on Wednesday, 14 May 2024 at 09:00 (CEST/Vienna time).
The OSCE PA represents the parliamentary dimension of the OSCE. It brings together over 300 members of parliament from 56 OSCE participating States to debate topical issues affecting the OSCE region. Appointed by the OSCE PA President, the OSCE PA Special Representative on Gender Issues monitors the gender situation in the OSCE region and within the OSCE. She regularly reports to the Parliamentary Assembly to keep gender issues high on the agenda of OSCE parliamentarians, promotes discussion on gender equality within the OSCE and the OSCE PA, prepares reports on specific topics and co-operates with the OSCE in organizing relevant activities.
In preparation of her supplementary item on sexual and reproductive health rights for the 32nd OSCE PA Annual Session in Porto (29 June - 3 July 2025), the OSCE PA will host an online consultation meeting for civil society organizations from the OSCE region. This will create an opportunity for the CSOs to provide their input to the supplementary item and raise any issues they deem relevant. Please find attached the concept note containing more information. We will also share with you the draft supplementary item shortly before the call.
To register, we kindly ask you to fill out the form here. Please note that deadline for registrations is Tuesday, 14 May, CoB.
