UNIDIR organized a series of regional briefings to share ongoing research about best practices for promoting women’s participation and gender equality in conventional arms control and disarmament.
This was an opportunity for UNIDIR experts to present preliminary findings from an online survey carried out with national authorities, international organizations and civil society groups that work with mine action, SALW control, and weapons and ammunition management.
The presentation was followed by an interactive discussion about the implications of these findings for ongoing multilateral processes. Special consideration was given to upcoming meetings of the disarmament calendar, such as the APMBC MSP, the Annual Meeting of the CCW and the next session of the OEWG on ammunition.
This session focused on the African region.
