For the last couple of years the ICCA Consortium has been working on its Gender policy, which is due to be approved at the 2018 General Assembly. The current final draft is available here in english, spanish and french. The comments so far are accessible here. A Consortium Committee on gender exists at the moment, gathering gender-related information on ICCA-related issues with the aim of sharing them towards positive action. The Committee is also engaged to promote gender equality and gender security. The member of the Council with special responsibility on gender issues serves as Chair of the Committee. Anyone willing to contribute to the work of the Committee is welcome to contact the Consortium Programme Officer.
