UNESCO officially confirmed the creation of the UNITWIN Network on Gender Equality, coordinated by the UNESCO Regional Chair on Women, Science and Technology in Latin America, based at FLACSO Argentina. Its objectives and action plans are framed in the UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs Program.
The UNITWIN Network on Gender Equality brings together different UNESCO Chairs around the world that develop research, training and policy advocacy actions on gender issues in different areas: education, vulnerability and risk, sustainable development, equality policies, scientific research, and others.
This will be a new instance to strengthen exchanges between the member UNESCO Chairs, contributing to the implementation of innovative practices and policies in the field of gender studies.
