Course presentation:
This course will familiarize participants with indicators for measuring structure, process, and outcomes, enabling the evaluation and monitoring of public policies developed to guarantee women's human rights. The use of monitoring indicators allows for the identification of gaps between the formal recognition of rights, enshrined in laws and resolutions, and their effective protection. The course aims to provide knowledge of tools that allow for the identification of the reasons for progress, setbacks, and challenges faced by states, as well as to highlight the capacities of states and social and civil organizations and organized movements to monitor the public policies implemented to guarantee the exercise of human rights. Cross-cutting lines of analysis include state capacities and financial commitments, and how these are reflected in the state apparatus to ensure the continuity of gender-related public policies. The course also analyzes, from a cross-cutting perspective, the transparency, participation, and access to justice for the rights enshrined in the Belém do Pará Convention.
