Global and regional setting of norms and standards on GEWE incorporates/is influenced by intergovernmental processes, with the full participation of women in their diversity

In 2022, women in their diversity fully participated in the setting of global and regional norms and standards on GEWE influenced by intergovernmental processes. The XV Regional Conference on Women was held from November 7 to 11, 2022, in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. It addressed the care society: horizon for a sustainable recovery with gender equality. This space brought together delegates from 30 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and other regions. This conference concluded with the adoption of the Buenos Aires Declaration, a key instrument that provides guidelines on how to overcome the care crisis and move towards the care society, a proposal for social organization that enables recovery with equality and sustainability. In this context, a total of 5.590 regional gender advocates increased their capacity to participate and influence this process through their participation in the Conference and the 53 online and face-to-face events and meetings that were organized with the support of UN Women. In addition, Latin America and the Caribbean Civil Society Organizations were able to participate and give their inputs on the background documents prepared on the priority themes of CSW66 and CSW67 with the aim of incorporating their views and proposals, through the consultations organized by UN Women Regional Office for Latin America and the Caribbean.
