Fostering Gender-Responsive Arms Control: Perspectives from the Eastern European Region

Ahead of the 4th Review Conference of the UN PoA and the 10th Conference of State Parties to the ATT, this discussion provided an opportunity to hear from experts about the latest research and trends on gender-responsive arms control.
The event also served as forum for sharing best practices from the Eastern European Region, as well as ideas for action to sustain momentum and ensure that gender-related topics remain a priority in multilateral arms control discussions.
Importantly, the event provided a platform to discuss the effective integration of gender-responsive actions into national arms control policies, legal frameworks, programmes and national action plans.
This event formed part of UNIDIR’s 2024 Regional Briefing Series on Gender in the UN PoA and ATT.
