About Conference
National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) play a significant role in achieving gender equality and fulfillment of women’s rights. They have a multifaceted role in promoting gender equality ranging from monitoring and reporting, compliance with international treaties, research, policy recommendations, advocacy, training, capacity building, and ensuring pluralism in its organizational governance. The relationships NHRIs establish with the communities also offer opportunities to contribute to changing attitudes and behaviors that integrate gender equality and human rights of women, and girls across all aspects of their work.
