This side-event, part of the Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+30 Review, aims to amplify existing achievements by sharing progress on what has been accomplished through examples of advancements made in gender equality in health from the Asia Pacific region. Insights from the examples will demonstrate that sustainable gender equality and health-related achievements are possible through multi-sectoral collaboration and collective action. The session will also provide a space to reflect on how to build on successes in light of the three areas in the call to action.
