The Voluntary National Review (VNR) lab “Path to equal: New Measurement Framework on Gender
Equality and Women’s Empowerment”, organized by UN Women, will be held virtually on 15 July 2021,
8–9 am (EDT) on the margins of the High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF). This
lab will provide an informal platform for Member States and other stakeholders to share experiences on
integrating a gender perspective in the VNR process, including on the use of gender statistics, to ensure
the gender-responsive implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and national
sustainable development strategies.
This lab will highlight some of the findings from this work and its relevance for the preparation of VNRs,
particularly in their assessment of the different forms of discrimination that women and girls face and their impact on society, and on accelerating progress in achieving the SDGs. The findings will also put a
spotlight on intersectionality through a comparison of outcomes for women and girls from different wealth/income quintiles for 100+ countries. Featured speakers will include representatives from
Member States, including from national statistical offices, who will share their experiences and reflections on good practices in integrating a gender perspective in the VNR process. The lab will be held under the Chatham House Rules and will be open to Member States, the UN system, and representatives of major groups and other stakeholders.
