In the framework of a series of workshops on the use of the Index Simulator for Policymakers in the Arab Region (ISPAR) to address gender equality gaps, ESCWA is organizing a training workshop in Kuwait for a group of policymakers from the Supreme Council for Family Affairs and various ministries and bodies.
The workshop defines global indicators in economic and social areas, in particular basic indicators on gender equality. It also focuses on defining priority areas, and using ISPAR to improve the classification of Kuwait on global indicators.
The fourth day of training includes sessions on international frameworks of gender equality. The training provides an overview of international human rights law and focuses, in particular, on the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Sustainable Development Agenda.
