Gender Equality Brief for Vanuatu

In 2021, Ridgeway information Ltd. was engaged by UN Women under the Coordination Unit to lead the research and design of a series of Gender Equality Briefs for the Pacific.

The purpose of developing the one regional and 14 country gender equality briefs is to have easily accessible resources that encompass the key gender equality issues and commitments in each country, that include the most updated gender data and statistics available, and that are fully referenced to be used to inform a variety of audiences and to increase gender mainstreaming in key document development.

Using a gender analysis framework, aligning with the SDG gender indicators and targets, the regional and country gender equality briefs cover a number of thematic areas including Women’s Human Rights, Women’s Representation and Leadership, Women’s Economic Empowerment, Education, Health/Sexual and Reproductive Health, Ending Violence against Women and Girls, and Gender and Protection in Humanitarian Action.
