Observatory Principal Investigator Esther Barbé (UAB/IBEI) and Observatory researcher Diego Badell (UAB) participated on March 11 at the CIDOB event “What’s Going On in the World? The International Agenda for Gender Equality Under Dispute.”
Barbé and Badell addressed key questions such as the current state of women’s rights, the international agenda for eradicating gender-based violence worldwide, the actors challenging this agenda, and the institutions and mechanisms available to counter them.
As part of the “What’s Happening in the World?” conference series, the panel reflected on the growing opposition to women’s rights and the challenges this poses for international organizations such as the United Nations and the European Union.
