The purpose of this gender audit is to shed light on the commitments of the EMHRN with regard to gender equality, women’s rights and gender mainstreaming, to assess how they have been implemented and recommend next steps to be taken in order to support the process of Institutionalising Gender Equality (IGE) in the EMHRN including gender-balanced structures and gender mainstreaming of EMHRN activities.
The immediate objectives are to:
- Highlight the commitments made by the EMHRN regarding gender equality
- Clarify gaps within the EMHRN with regard to meeting these commitments
- Identify strong and weak points in relation to EMHRN gender mainstreaming efforts
- Point to key obstacles and ways to overcome them; and finally
- Recommend measures aimed at advancing the IGE including the strengthening of gender mainstreaming work of EMHRN and its members
