Abstract

Although the UN Secretary-General’s Our Common Agenda report puts gender equality and women’s empowerment at the center of the UN’s three pillars of peace and security, human rights, and development, it does not fully address the all-important questions of “How?” and “By whom”? Neither does it elaborate on key mandates within the UN to build accountability and transparency mechanisms that can help assess current barriers to change and monitor progress on implementation. The purpose of this collection of expert papers is to shine a light on a feminist analysis that contributes to the ongoing debates concerning the upcoming SDG Summit, the Summit of the Future in 2024, and other discussions such as the New Agenda for Peace and Global Digital Compact. The topics of the policy briefs range from climate change to women’s health, feminist foreign policy, digital technology and decolonization, financing for development, youth and intergenerational leadership, and women, peace, and security. The breadth of topics was intentional, affirming the stance that, as stated by the NGO Forum in Beijing in 1995, “all Issues are women’s issues.” Just “look at the world through women’s eyes.”
