Since the first Ministerial Conference in Istanbul 2006, the UfM Ministerial Process on strengthening the role of women in society has been approached by civil society as one of the major tools to promote gender equality in the Euro-Med region. Following up on the Ministerial Conclusions, Euromed Feminist Initiative launched in 2015 a women’s rights CSOs-led dialogue process between civil society and decision makers with the support of the European Union. The outcome is a Gender Regional Platform, developed by over 600 participants. The Civil Society Conference held on November 22nd-23rd, 2017 in Cairo has been the final step in this process, before the 4th Ministerial Conference. The Civil Society Conference gathered over 130 representatives from 107 organizations and networks, as well as academia and media from 26 countries.
At the end of the conference, this declaration was handed to the Ministers in the Euro-Med Region during the 4th UfM Ministerial meeting on 27th November 2017.
