in both the United Nations system and the diplomatic community, ensure that their actions
for the promotion of women’s rights and gender equality are coordinated, are based on
international human rights standards and entail sustainable strategies rather than being
limited to short-term projects. The Working Group further recommends the creation of a
constructive space for dialogue involving the authorities and civil society organizations,
even on issues deemed controversial.
