Civil society strongly object to the participation process for appointments to the Commission on Gender Equality. bit.ly/3RDMctT
The CGE has a critical mandate as a Chapter 9 institution, charged with promoting respect for gender equality and its protection, development, and attainment; and to monitor, investigate, research, educate, lobby, advise, and report on issues of gender equality.
