Following up on the series of webinars held since 2022, and the 2023 edition of the handbook for parliamentarians on CEDAW, this webinar aims to provide targeted support and practical guidance to strengthen parliamentary engagement within the CEDAW review process. It will also seek to assist parliaments to operationalize upcoming CEDAW General recommendation No. 41 on gender stereotypes and CEDAW General recommendation No. 40 on the equal and inclusive representation of women in decision-making systems, integrating its guidance into national legislative frameworks and oversight mechanisms, in line with the IPU Plan of action for gender parity in parliaments endorsed by the IPU Governing Council in October 2025. The webinar will take the form of two 1.5-hour Zoom sessions.
