The Danish Institute for Human Rights will introduce its latest briefing, which highlights key challenges, suggestions and resources for enhancing gender-responsiveness across six select due diligence dimensions: community relations, land acquisition and resettlement, security, local content, grievance resolution and strategic social investment. The briefing links to existing commitments to gender equality, as well as the Gender Guidance developed by the United Nations Working Group on Business and Human Rights.
Topics covered during the webinar will include:
- An introduction to gender-responsive due diligence in extractive industries projects: Nora Götzmann, Senior Advisor, Danish Institute for Human Rights;
- addressing gender-based violence in indigenous communities in Bolivia: Cynthia Trigo Paz, Human Rights Senior Advisor, Total;
