In the framework of the UN Committee on World Food Security (CFS), negotiations of the Voluntary Guidelines on Gender Equality and Women’s Empowerment (GEWE) in the context of food security and nutrition took place spanning from 2020 until 2023. The text of the Guidelines was finalised in June 2023 and is set to be endorsed by member States during the CFS51 plenary in October 2023.
The CSIPM Working Group on women and gender diversities has assessed the content and quality of the guidelines to determine whether we will actively participate in their dissemination and use them for future advocacy.
