JERA International has received numerous requests from women who have not been able to participate in the Working Together for Equality B+15 Platform for Action Questionnaire asking if there can still be an opportunity to Have Their Say.
It has been decided to continue the online questionnaire for several more weeks to allow women wishing to include their concerns and recommendations.
Please scroll down to begin the questionnaire.
JERA International would like to thank everyone involved in the B+15 Platform for Action Review to date including organisations and individuals for their contribution and support.

Background:
The United Nations Platform for Action (PfA) aims to remove obstacles for women’s active participation in all areas of public & private life, sharing power, decision making & responsibility with men at home, in the workplace and in the wider national and international communities.
Equality is about social justice; a fundamental prerequisite for development and peace; and so women and men can work together for themselves, their children and for society to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
– Taken from the UN PfA Mission Statement
Engaging Men and Boys
While we have been gathering information predominantly from women, JERA International will be seeking comments, ideas or feedback from men regarding their perceptions on gender equality and running workshops with men during November, 2009.
