Recommendations for future delegations

The concerning trend is the participation of Western Pacific countries that spoke majorly online, perhaps leaving the accessibility question for this particular region.

When it comes to the attention given by regions to specific topics, the distribution presents itself as follows:

Europe is the region with the biggest share in all topics except for climate and other vulnerable populations, women’s working conditions and unpaid domestic and care work, in which Americas, Africa and Western Pacific, respectively, took the lead. The reasons behind Africa’s advocacy on working conditions are due to high rates of women in the informal economy and being the majority of the agricultural workforce. The Americas speaking about other left-behind populations addressed the needs and roles of indigenous women, women living in rural areas and people with disabilities. In regards to unpaid domestic and care work, representatives from Western Pacific shed light on the effect of crises and the rise of domestic burden as was the case for the pandemic.

Something that was not measured by the delegation but was emphasized in many statements was the need for gender-disaggregated data.
