The Permanent Missions of Finland, Norway, Sweden in Vienna, UNODC and UNIDO: Vienna Discussion Forum 2022: Women on the move - Surviving forced displacement and building a new life

Migration and forced displacement impact women and men differently. Gender roles and social norms lead to differing vulnerabilities and circumstances for men and women. Men and women will leave their home for a range of reasons: from leaving behind poverty, conflict and climate-related disasters to escaping entrenched gender inequalities, including sexual and gender-based violence and lack of access to livelihoods and resources. In transit or at their destination, it is important to ensure that gender norms do not continue to leave women and girls behind and that socioeconomic integration is gender-responsive and takes a human-rights centred approach.

IGC: Re-launch: I Say No to Sexism. What do you say?

The campaign under the slogan “I say no to sexism. What do you say?” originates from former UN Geneva Director-General Michael Møller, who in 2017 made it his commitment to launch a campaign to counter casual sexism at UN Geneva. This campaign consisted of awareness-raising, outreach activities and actions to encourage and empower staff to tackle casual sexism in their working environment.

Today, this campaign is being relaunched to support implementation of the IGC Gender-based Violence Pledge, a commitment for “Champions to uphold IGC’s core values of creating and maintaining safe workplaces and treating every person with respect and fairness; and to accelerate collective action towards the elimination of all forms of genderbased violence within Champions’ spheres of influence”. The campaign is also a part of the IGC Secretariat’s commitment to the Generation Equality Forum Action Coalition theme on gender-based violence.
