What is gender-sensitive rights-based monitoring?

Rights-based monitoring is an activity carried out to protect, advance and strengthen human rights and to prevent violations in this field. Rights-based monitoring contributes to combat against gender inequality in all spheres of life, strengthens participatory democracy by enabling civil society organizations to assess public policies and services, and paves the way to more effective conduct of advocacy activities by making violations of rights visible.

Why gender equality monitoring?

Gender Equality (GE) that means all enjoying equal rights and opportunities without any distinction with respect to gender is a fundamental human right protected by international conventions. In almost all spheres of life, women cannot enjoy some fundamental rights as men can and face gender-based discrimination throughout their life.
