It is not only essential to strive for gender equity at headquarters, but also to promote it in mine action activities. The GICHD fully supports gender and diversity analysis and programming, which lead to more productive and sustainable mine action activities and, ultimately, to significantly reduced impact of explosive remnants of war and landmines on lives and livelihoods.

I support the IGC Panel Parity Pledge.

I support the IGC gender-based violence pledge.
