🇺🇳 How can the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) better reflect the lived realities of women, girls and women human rights defenders?

🗣️ Our researcher, Ardita Vejseli, today at 15:00 will be speaking at the HRC62 Side Event: "Strengthening the UPR Cycle: Gender Perspectives, Inclusivity, and Civil Society Participation", co-organised by EPI and the Permanent Mission of North Macedonia to the UN in Geneva, UK Mission to the UN Geneva, and UPR Info.

👥 The discussion will focus on how to better integrate gender perspectives throughout the UPR process — from stakeholder engagement and recommendations to implementation and mid-term reporting. While gender equality is frequently addressed in UPR recommendations, women, girls and women human rights defenders continue to face specific barriers to participation, especially in contexts of shrinking civic space.
