Access to justice is a cornerstone of gender equality, democratic governance, and sustainable peace. Despite normative progress at global and national levels, women and girls continue to face systemic barriers to justice, including discriminatory laws and practices, weak enforcement, economic exclusion, technology-facilitated violence, and under-representation in justice and decision-making institutions.
The 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) focuses on “Ensuring and strengthening access to justice for all women and girls, including by promoting inclusive and equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, and addressing structural barriers.” This parallel event responds directly to the priority theme by grounding global commitments in regional realities, while fostering cross-organizational dialogue and accountability.

MCAA GEDI Working Group is joining the conversation in this event organised by the International Federation for Business and Professional Women with Magda Theodoridou, MCAA GEDI Task Force lead as Moderator and Jen Elmaco, MCAA GEDI Chair as one of the Panelists.

16 March 15:30 - 17:00 CET over Zoom.
