This policy brief presents the findings of a roundtable discussion, organized by UNU-CPR in collaboration with UN Women and the Migration for Development and Equality (MIDEQ) Hub. The roundtable convened UN agencies, academics, international organizations, and civil society, in order to facilitate the exchange of best practices, resources, and guidance, focusing on mainstreaming a gender perspective in migration governance, particularly in the context of implementing the GCM. Discussions were guided by several key questions: How can data and evidence contribute to supporting gender-responsive migration governance? What specific measures can governments, international organizations, and stakeholders, including civil society, adopt to ensure that migration governance is attuned to gender considerations? In what ways can partnerships be cultivated and strengthened to enhance the implementation of these goals? Moreover, what actions are imperative to ensure that the GCM effectively contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a specific emphasis on SDG 5, which pertains to gender equality?.
