FfD4 2nd PrepCom Side event "How to design, deliver and finance gender-responsive social protection systems?"

Second Preparatory Committee Session for the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (Ff4D)

The International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United National Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) are pleased to convene a side-event offering actionable recommendations for FfD4 on how to design, deliver and finance gender-responsive social protection systems. The side event will highlight the centrality of gender-responsive social protection to address gender-specific risks and barriers that hinder women's full participation in economic and social life. Invited high-level experts will share insights on how to harness the FfD4 process to make gender responsive social protection systems a reality for all women, by recognizing and addressing the challenges they face.

The discussion on gender-responsive social protection systems builds on the recently launched ILO paper “Making social protection work for gender equality: What does it look like? How do we get there?” and UN WOMEN’s flagship report “World Survey on the Role of Women in Development 2024: Harnessing social protection for gender equality, resilience and transformation”.
