Description:
The project presented by the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), through the Observatoire francophone pour le développement inclusif par le genre (OFDIG), consists of facilitating two forums for influential women in collaboration with the National University of Vanuatu and a closing activity. The project activities include: 1) organising a forum in Vanuatu in the second half of 2025; 2) organizing a second forum in Cambodia in 2026; 3) organizing a closing activity in Vietnam in 2027 which will conclude the project by disseminating and promoting the results of data analysis. During each forum, a portrait of gender equality, associated with women's participation in public life and decision-making powers, will be created. The participants in this project are: organizations involved in the promotion of women's rights, Francophone and Asian universities (including young researchers from the UQAM/OFDIG network), and experts and decision-makers. The project aligns with Strategic Objectif number 3 ("Investing in and Connecting People") of Canada's Indo-Pacific Strategy. This forum is a platform for reflection, sharing, and collaboration among opinion leaders, influential women, academics, and emerging young leaders from Francophone countries and the Asia-Pacific region.
