SUMMARY:13th Gathering of the ParlAmericas Parliamentary Network for Gender Equality Bolstering Social Protection beyond COVID-19: What the Data Tells Us
DESCRIPTION:The 13th Gathering of the PNGE will explore the ways in which strengthening social supports and services can contribute to addressing the root causes of gender inequality and other forms of social vulnerability\, building on conversations spurred by the COVID-19 pandemic on enhancing social protection systems. The question of data will be a crosscutting focus of the Gathering\, with particular attention to the availability and use of disaggregated data to address the differentiated needs of women and vulnerable groups during the pandemic. \nThe Gathering will provide spaces for knowledge-sharing on good practices for more systematic collection of disaggregated data with a view to preventing the gaps in social protection during future crises and to ensure an overall strengthening of the social safety net. \nThe 13th Gathering of the ParlAmericas PNGE will be organized in three online events\, which will be conducted in ParlAmericas’ official languages: Spanish\, English\, Portuguese\, and French.
