Description
What processes and practices are regional and international institutions changing in order to develop a better gendered response to global crisis? It seems evident that the way forward is the insertion of feminist perspectives within the structures of the institution: but how is this best done? This panel investigates various institutional contexts – the UN System, the EU – to highlight how actors pay attention to global gender concerns. There is a particular focus on the work that feminist and gendered advocates do within institutional structures to enact gender-positive changes: from utilising bureaucratic tools such as indicators, to the development of gender-equality programmes and exploiting opportunities afforded by systematic changes. The gendered intersections with colonialized and racial implications of these changes are also evaluated.
