UCLG Retreat 2024

UCLG carries the proud legacy of our equality driven movement: from the establishment of our Standing Committee on Gender Equality, to nurturing a bold Global Feminist Municipal Movement, and a Pact for the Future that puts care, equity and solidarity at the center.

The recent global crises have highlighted the critical role of women elected leaders in advancing inclusive and rights-based agendas. Yet today we are seeing increased backsliding on women’s rights and gender-based violence, in particular against women in decision-making. What are the key entry-points to accelerating women’s meaningful and safe participation in political and public life? The UCLG-Women Facility will take a whole-of-society and whole-of-network approach, collectively joining efforts to tackle the old, new and systemic challenges of inequality and discrimination, with women’s and feminist leadership as an essential lever for change.
