Changing the picture will require a concerted effort by diverse actors such as academics, activists, mandate holders, Government representatives, ambassadors, opinion makers, and humanitarians. In this spirit, we launch GQUAL, a global campaign for gender parity in international representation.<\/p>\n<p>[\/quote]<\/p>\n<p>[quote align=&#8221;center&#8221; color=&#8221;#COLOR_CODE&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Why is the participation of women in international tribunals and mechanisms relevant? In short, women\u2019s participation and representation matters for equality as a right, as well as for the legitimacy and impact of these international bodies.<\/p>\n<p>[\/quote]<\/p>\n<p>[quote align=&#8221;center&#8221; color=&#8221;#COLOR_CODE&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the goal of gender parity in international tribunals and bodies can advance if a large and diverse number of academics, activists, persons in power, humanitarians, opinion makers, international tribunals, bodies, and institutions commit to tackle this problem together. Representation is not only a just claim, it is a means to ensure the equal participation of women in building a better world as stated in the Beijing Declaration. Gender equality in international representation is a small, achievable step with global impact.<\/p>\n<p>[\/quote]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Read and download the paper<a href=\"http:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/ENGLISH-2016-01-07-GQUAL-Concept-Note.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gender Equality in International Tribunals and Bodies: an achievable step with global impact This Concept&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1315,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[147],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1616"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1616"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1616\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9585,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1616\/revisions\/9585"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1315"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.gqualcampaign.org\/old\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
