FP will host a conversation on reversing the rollback on women's rights.

Major and persistent gaps between men and women across political, economic, professional, and other factors have stalled progress for gender parity initiatives around the world. The recent International Men and Gender Equality Survey (IMAGES) demonstrates a compounding issue—that even men who support equality in the abstract become reticent to support specific policies that have been proven to increase opportunities for women and reduce discrimination against sexual and gender minorities.
Increasing trends of illiberalism and authoritarianism are only making things worse, with misogyny and rollbacks on democracy fueling each other. In countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Russia, Egypt, Brazil, India, Poland, and Turkey, outright autocracy or backsliding democracy are suppressing or reversing women’s rights as an intentional political strategy to narrow discourse and political participation.
Foreign Policy, in partnership with the National Democratic Institute (NDI), will convene political leaders and gender parity experts on Tuesday, September 13, for a conversation on #Uniting4DemocraticEquality and how men can become agents for gender equality and women’s empowerment, not only transforming the political landscape, but also contributing to the long-term democratic development, prosperity, and resilience of nations.
