THE EDbU JOINED A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN THAT SEEKS TO PROMOTE GENDER PARITY IN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNALS AND MONITORING BODIES

Sanja Tarczay, Ph.D., the president of the EDbU, has joined the IDA, International Disability and Development Consortium and GQUAL in calling for action to promote gender parity within the CRPD Committee, all treaty bodies and international and regional organisations!

GQUAL aims to call the attention of the international community to one of these dimensions: the underrepresentation of women in leadership positions in international bodies. Women are underrepresented in virtually all international bodies responsible for monitoring and developing international law, human rights, and international relations, both in the United

Nations and in regional organizations in the Americas, Asia, Africa, and Europe.
