Towards Gender Equality before the Law
|
Date: 10 March 2017 ¦ Location: OECD Conference Centre, Paris
Agenda
While globalisation has created multiple opportunities, its impact on gender equality and access to justice remains underexplored. Public policies are under pressure to ensure that globalisation benefits all, more fairly.
Towards Gender Equality before the Law highlighted people-centred and gender-responsive policy, legal and justice tools that can better support social and economic outcomes for women and girls across social groups. The event showcased country practices and discussed the remaining challenges in putting the needs of both women and men at the centre of legal and justice systems. Empowering all women and girls to enjoy their rights and address disparities in accessing public services such as health, employment, education and justice as well as entrepreneurship is crucial for equal societies and inclusive economies.
