ABOUT
On the occasion of International Women’s Day (IWD) 2026, the IMPRI Gender Impact Studies Center (GISC) at IMPRI Impact and Policy Research Institute, New Delhi, presents a special edition of the #WebPolicyTalk series:
The State of Gender Equality – #GenderGaps
Rights. Justice. Action. For ALL Women and Girls
This panel discussion brings together distinguished experts, policymakers, legal practitioners, and development leaders to reflect on the progress made — and the challenges that persist — in advancing gender equality.
Despite significant strides in policy and advocacy, gender gaps continue to exist in education, employment, political representation, access to justice, health, and economic opportunities. The session will explore:
- Current trends in gender equality
- Policy and legal frameworks for gender justice
- Intersectional challenges and inclusive governance
- Action-oriented pathways for transformative change
Aligned with the global call to ensure rights, equality, and empowerment for all women and girls, this dialogue aims to inspire collective commitment and concrete action toward a more just and equitable society.
Join us as we move from conversation to commitment.
