It will bring together thought leaders, community members cultural practitioners, civil society, government representatives, and Chapter 9 Institutions to engage on how heritage can be harnessed to promote inclusivity, respect for diversity, and gender justice.

• To encourage invited stakeholders to bring forth emerging gender related issues that might be taken up by CGE to a legal hearing;
• To discuss the intersection of heritage and gender diversity;
