On Tuesday, March 19, 2019 at 3:00 PM – 4:15 PM

3:00 PM – 4:15 PM

United Nations Headquarters – ECOSOC Chamber

 

 

Description:

Gender equality was adopted as a UN agenda for the purpose of the advancement and empowerment of women. Recent interpretations of gender and gender equality have called into question women’s genuine human dignity and the feminine genius. Uncritical adoption into policy of novel theories of gender jeopardize the advancements made in protecting the dignity of women and girls by devaluing their unique nature. This has important implications for the infrastructures and services that are designed to help women and girls.

By diminishing the uniqueness of women and their needs, new notions of gender attenuate the focus on women’s unique needs and hamper their empowerment.

This panel of women leaders will enlighten and inspire the audience with personal testimonies and scholarly and professional expertise. Panelists will propose practical and actionable solutions to the challenges women and girls face in many different arenas.
