Promoting gender equality Advancing gender equality Promoting gender equality is a core priority for the APF, as outlined in our Strategic Plan 2022-27. We actively support our members in advocating for the rights of women, girls, and people of diverse gender identities, while encouraging NHRIs to mainstream gender within their institutions. We aim to help our members achieve equitable gender representation at all staffing levels and within their leadership appointments. 36 APF Annual Report 2023-24
