CSW62 side event: System-wide strategy on gender parity: How to walk the talk

Join us for a discussion on how to reach gender parity in the UN system by 2028! The Secretary-General has promised to deliver on this commonly agreed goal, but what are the roles of the United Nations, the Member States, and civil society in the process? How can we promote an inclusive and diverse working environment across the UN system, and what measures are necessary to reach parity?
