ACT EU submission on EU Gender Action Plan III
ACT EU view is that an important added value of GAP III would be to promote gender appropriate actions and focus across sectors, for example in relation to EU trade policy, migration policy and other aspects of external action beyond development. ACT EU calls for a much stronger focus on understanding and responding to the diverse contexts of vulnerability and inequality experienced by marginalised women and girls and other marginalised genders, supported by strong evidence (qualitative as well as quantitative) and disaggregated data. In this, a stronger focus on normative change will be needed.
