High-level panel on transparency and gender perspective in Ibero-America

The president of the Council of Transparency and Good Government, Concepción Campos Acuña, participated on June 2 in Madrid in the high-level panel "Transparency with a gender perspective in Ibero-America: evidence, challenges and cooperation", organized by the Organization of Ibero-American States and the body Transparency for the People of Mexico. In the session he recalled that “what is not seen, does not exist”, and that is why the right of access to public information and transparency in public management “should serve to make visible and correct gender inequality.”

The president stressed that these rights are key to moving towards a fairer society, and to allow women to participate, demand and transform; and she highlighted the role of the Council as a key institution in guaranteeing the right to know.

The panel, held in Casa México, and moderated by Irune Aguirrezábal Quijera, director of the Ibero-American Program of Education in Human Rights, Democracy and Equality of the OEI, also participated Livia Oliveira Sobota, National Secretary for Transparency and Access to Information of the Comptroller General of the Union of Brazil (CGU), and Tanivet Ramos Reyes, Head of Transparency for the People of Mexico.

The panel coincided with the celebration in Madrid of the “V Ministerial Conference on Feminist Foreign Policy: Building peace and democracy.”
