The UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific (UNRCPD) and the UN Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) invite you to a virtual event focusing on gender-responsive implementation of key arms control instruments: the United Nations (UN) Programme of Action on Small Arms and Light Weapons (PoA) and the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) in the Asia Pacific Region.

Ahead of the 4th Review Conference of the UN PoA and the 10th Conference of State Parties to the ATT, this discussion will provide an opportunity to hear from experts about the latest research and trends on gender-responsive arms control. The event will also serve as forum for sharing best practices from the Asia-Pacific Region, as well as ideas for action to sustain momentum and ensure that gender-related topics remain a priority in multilateral arms control discussions.

This event is part of UNRCPD’s regional project in support of the UN PoA funded by the European Union, as well as of UNIDIR’S 2024 Regional Briefing Series on Gender in the UN PoA and ATT. It is open to government officials, diplomats, civil society organizations and experts from the Asia-Pacific Region.
