FORUM: "EQUALITY FOR JUSTICE." International Day of Women Judges 2023.
Women judges contribute to the quality of decision-making and help to build trust in the judiciary. The fight against corruption and other crimes can only be successful if the judiciary is inclusive, diverse and offers different gender perspectives.

EVENTS: Ahead of the Int'l Day of Women Judges, attend UNODC’s event discussing experiences of women judges and prosecutors in countering organized crime.
On 10 March 2023, for the second time, we celebrated the International Day of Women Judges pursuant to the recent United Nations General Assembly Resolution 75/274 of 2021. The establishment of the International Day of Women Judges marks an important milestone in global efforts to ensuring gender equality and builds upon the ongoing efforts of the Global Judicial Integrity Network in addressing gender-related judicial integrity issues. The General Assembly Resolution explicitly notes with appreciation the work of the Global Judicial Integrity Network of UNODC “to incorporate women’s representation issues into judicial systems”. With its mandate rooted in the UN Convention against Corruption, the Global Judicial Integrity Network has been emphasizing the crucial role of the judiciary in fighting corruption.
Fair gender representation strengthens the judiciary.
