Deadline approaching: Registration open until 10 July for the Virtual multi-stakeholder hearing in preparation of the General Assembly high-level meeting on Beijing+25
This message is a reminder that registration for ECOSOC-accredited NGOs for the online Multi-Stakeholder Hearing Accelerating the realization of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls is open until 10 July 2020. Please ask interested representatives to register as soon as possible in order to leave sufficient time for registration approval.
As part of the preparations for the High-Level Meeting of the General Assembly in accordance with UN GA resolution 73/340, the President of the General Assembly, with the support of the United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN-Women), will organize and preside over an interactive multi-stakeholder hearing, to ensure the active participation of multi-stakeholders in the process.
The multi-stakeholder hearing will be held on a virtual platform on 21 July 2020 from 10am – 5pm EDT. Due to technical limitations of the interactive online platform, the number of participants should not exceed three (3) representatives per organization. Online registration is mandatory via the INDICO registration system. We are not able to accept registrations by e-mail.
Participants register themselves individually for the online event and will need to upload an official letter from the head of your organization or main UN representative as supporting documentation.
The Conference Focal Point in your organization will then be able to approve up to three (3) registrations made under your organization. Please ensure that approvals are completed by the registration deadline of 10 July. Once the registration has been approved by your organization in INDICO, your representative will receive online participation details in the days prior to the event commencing.
Guides for registration and approval may be found here.
Please ask your representatives to go to https://indico.un.org/event/34558/ to register. Participants will need to be registered and approved by the 10 July deadline.
We strongly encourage organizations to include youth members in their delegations whose voice and contribution is critical if no one is to be left behind.
Alongside the interactive virtual platform that requires registration, there will be a public webcast to view the proceedings. Viewing of the webcast does not require registration; there is no limit on the number of webcast viewers. The webcast may be viewed here: http://webtv.un.org/
