UN CSW65 Side event “Shifting Masculine Norms to Promote Women’s Economic Empowerment”

The OECD Development Centre is co-organising, with Austria, a Side-event on 22 March 2021 as part of the upcoming Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on Shifting Masculine Norms to Promote Women’s Economic Empowerment to:

• Make the case that restrictive masculinities hinder women’s economic empowerment while also harming the well-being of men and boys
• Underscore that tackling these restrictive masculinities has the potential to improve both women’s and men’s well-being
• Highlight the importance of collecting data and evidence while emphasising the key role policy makers and grassroots organisations can play in facilitating gender-equitable masculine norms.
