This webinar will launch a report on UN Women’s participatory and innovative research on gender-transformative changes in humanitarian settings. It seeks to share ways that the transformative potential of the Grand Bargain might be realized for women and girls.

The report demonstrates that engaging with diverse women and women’s organizations in their own terms, responding to their priorities, and adapting to their ways of working constitute key drivers of gender-transformative change. Enhancing meaningful participation and effective localization is not only about what humanitarian responders do, but how they do it.

The central argument of this research report is simple: the voices of crisis-affected people, and in particular crisis-affected women, should resonate loudly and clearly in spaces where decisions about their lives are made.
