Annual Report 2012–2013 Figure 14: Gender make-up among APF members in 2012 and 2013 Commissioners (2013) Commissioners (2012) Men Senior staff (2013) Women Senior staff (2012) Junior staff (2013) Junior staff (2012) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 The results this year show an increase in women at all levels, on average, although it is not possible to say whether this is a trend or annual variation at this point. It is important to note that there is significant variation in the gender balance across the membership, with some showing a strong preponderance of women at all levels (notably Australia and New Zealand) and others a strong preponderance of men, especially in senior roles (notably Jordan and Afghanistan). At the 11th International Conference of the ICC on the promotion of human rights on the theme of ‘Human rights of women and girls: Promoting gender equality – the role of national human rights institutions’ held in Amman, Jordan, from 5–7 November 2012, APF members reaffirmed their commitment to mainstream gender equality into all APF objectives. 5.3. Environmental impact Evaluation findings Outcome indicator CO2 emissions Performance rating On track The APF’s small secretariat operates from leased premises in a water and energy efficient building with a certified four star green star rating and best practice waste recycling systems. The secretariat use few other resources, create only minor waste streams and has been able to reduce its environmental impact further through the introduction of a virtual learning environment that has reduced the need for trainingrelated air travel. The APF conferences and meetings have moved from providing meeting documents and resources in hard copy to soft copy – available on the APF website and USB drives. 5.
