The World Institute for Nuclear Security (WINS) invites all nuclear security stakeholders to attend the virtual launch of their self-assessment, evaluation and action plan tool for achieving and sustaining gender equality, diversity and inclusion in their organisations. This virtual launch is designed to inform leaders and managers, staff of organisations and human resource professionals supporting the mission of organisations involved in nuclear security.

This side event aims to showcase recent achievements and plans for the future in the implementation of the CCM.

The Permanent Mission of South Africa hosts this virtual side event on the "Successes and Challenges of Equal Participation of Women and Men in Pursuit of the Purpose of the Conventional Arms Treaties and their Implementation" on the margins of the 8th Conference of the States Parties of the Arms Trade Treaty.

This interactive meeting on the margins of the 10th Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty Review Conference (NPT RevCon) will take stock of progress on gender mainstreaming during this review cycle and identify concrete measures to advance gender diversity, gender analysis and gender equality in nuclear non-proliferation, disarmament, and peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

This event aims to highlight the different realities on combating gender-based violence in different regions of the world with a focus on LGBTIQ populations. Gender-based violence and harmful practices happen due to root causes that affect women in all of their diversity and LGBTIQ populations, such as heteronormative patriarchy, and those need to be discussed. This event will share challenges and good practices and highlight how to tackle gender-based violence toward LGBTIQ populations.

The Global Survivors Fund and its Ukrainian partners EUCCI, Blue Bird and Truth Hounds invite you to the Launch of the Study on Reparations for Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence in Ukraine: Opportunities and Prospects, a hybrid side-event to the 50th Session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Please join the event along with survivors, representatives of the government of Ukraine, members of the international community and other key stakeholders for a dialogue on the status, challenges and the way forward for reparations for survivors and victims in Ukraine.

The overlapping impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerating climate disasters and geopolitical conflict are a threat to gender equality and women’s rights across the globe. A new report by UN Women and UNDP shows what governments can do now to prevent further rollbacks and recover lost ground, while enhancing resilience and preparedness for future shocks. Government Responses to COVID-19: Lessons on Gender Equality for a World in Turmoil draws on a unique global dataset of nearly 5,000 measures adopted by 226 countries and territories in response to COVID-19. It analyzes the extent to which these measures have responded to the specific challenges that women have faced, highlights gaps as well as good practices, and looks at the factors that have enabled a stronger gender response across countries.
