Gender dimensions of corruption – CoSP 9

Описание: Corruption impacts women and men differently, resulting in the exclusion of females in decision-making processes, perpetuating negative social stereotypes and limiting economic power and education opportunities

During the ninth session of the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption in Sharm El-Sheikh from 13 to 17 December 2021, gender dimensions of corruption for an inclusive recovery are taken into consideration.

Gender-sensitive whistle-blower reporting and protection systems and a victim-centred approach are of particular importance for women as the lack of protection, fear of reprisals, and the level of confidentiality can negatively impact the decision to report corruption.
