<strong>What is new? </strong>During this webinar, Gaëlle Ferrant from the OECD Development Centre presented the key findings and recommendations of the <strong><a href="https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/development/social-institutions-and-gender-index_803413ef-en">SIGI 2019 Global Report: transforming challenges into opportunities</a>. </strong>

<strong>What is SIGI?</strong> The OECD Development Centre’s <a href="http://www.genderindex.org/">SIGI</a> looks at the gaps that legislation, social norms and practices create between women and men in terms of rights and opportunities. The event higlighted the <strong>SIGI 2019 Global report key messages </strong>and informed policy debates on <strong>social norms and discrimination against women and girls</strong> across the globe.

<strong>Why now? </strong>There has been clear progress when it comes <strong>to political commitments</strong> to eliminate gender inequality. Similarly, some <strong>social norms</strong> that are detrimental to equality have become less prominent. However, in many countries, political commitments, legal reforms and gender-sensitive programmes <strong>are still not being translated into real changes for gender equality</strong>. Going forward, gender-based discrimination remains a lifelong and heterogeneous challenge for women and girls.

<strong>When?</strong> The webinar took place on Tuesday 14 May at 4pm (Paris time). It run for one hour. Presentations were followed by a questions and answers session
