Gender-responsive PP<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

ITU, as the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies (ICTs), is\u202fcommitted to\u202fconnecting all the world’s people\u202f\u2013 wherever they live and whatever their means. In this context, including a gender perspective in ITU\u2019s work is essential to ensure that the benefits of ICTs are made available to all women and men on a fair and equitable basis.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

Following the PP-18 recommendation to foster the participation of women in all ITU decision-making processes, together with the Host Country, ITU works to ensure that the PP-22 Conference become s a gender-responsive event.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

A gender-responsive event is one that aims to advance gender equality by upholding actions on agenda-setting, participation, governance, working environment, and decision-making which, when used collectively, can work as a system to accelerate, achieve, and sustain gender equality, as well as to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 (SDG 5), and contribute to a gender equal and inclusive society.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

\n

To do so, a presentation containing a checklist has been developed that covers all aspects to be considered by the ITU secretariat, the Host Country, and the Member States, before, during and after a Plenipotentiary Conference takes place. You can access the presentation here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
