The Consortium policy on gender is available here English, Spanish and French.
The ICCA Consortium has been working on its policy on gender since 2017. The policy was finally approved during the 2018 General Assembly.
The modalities of the acceptation of the policy and discussions around it, which took place during the General Assembly, can be found in the General Assembly Minutes, pages 26 to 30.
A Consortium Committee on gender exists at the moment, chaired by the Council Member With Special Responsibilities On ICCAs and Gender Issues.

Any Member and Honorary member is welcome to join the Committee.
