This roundtable focused on amplifying the importance of addressing gender equality and women's empowerment in the multilateral system response, whilst providing a platform to share experiences and highlight best practices. Through bringing together speakers from Serbia, Maldives, Kyrgyzstan, the Philippines, Turkey and Pakistan, the guidance and key insights provided by this roundtable helped create a valuable blue-print for action, sparking engagement and positive progress.
