Liz Snodgrass will be providing the concluding remarks for the “Current Levels of Representation of Women in Human Rights Organs and Mechanisms: Ensuring gender parity, a discussion on the Report of the Human Rights Council Advisory Committee” panel as part of “The Experts Speak Series: Addressing Human Rights in Times of Crisis” series.
The Report outlines findings on the current levels of representation of women in UN human rights bodies and puts forth recommendations on how to promote and implement gender balance in these organs. A team from Three Crowns assisted with the preparation of the Report in conjunction with REDRESS, a leading human rights organisation, and GQUAL a global campaign body that works to overcome the under-representation of women in international tribunals and monitoring bodies. In addition to Liz, the Three Crowns team included Penny Martin, Elizabeth Chan, Laura França Pereira, and Raymundo Treves.
The webinar will take place on Tuesday 20 July from 12:00 – 1:30pm ET (-5 BST).
