Review of GLOW Red’s four years of action

After four years of activities – during which the Movement has made further commitments to gender equality – GLOW Red undertook a period of review, including an external evaluation of the network’s effectiveness ("Lighting the Path to Women’s Leadership: A Review of GLOW Red’s Four Years of Action", May 2022). It was also an opportunity to see the impact of some of GLOW Red’s work, one of the most important being the elections held in the IFRC General Assembly meeting in 2022 resulting in a board with 51% representation of women.

The IC33 Resolution on Women and Leadership

In December 2019 the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement came together to make a significant commitment to women’s leadership in the form of "Resolution 5 – Women and leadership in the humanitarian action of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement". Following this landmark resolution, actors from across the RCRC Movement have been hard at work transforming the commitments laid out in the resolution into action.

GLOW Red's progress report on the IC33 Women and Leadership Resolution

In 2021, GLOW Red created a working group to ensure implementation of the resolution and foster the sharing of progress and successes, as well as challenges and obstacles. One of the first actions of the working group was to put together a reporting mechanism to gather information on what is being done and have been done across the RCRC Movement to support women in leadership positions as well as future women leaders, and increase women’s leadership in general.

Using this reporting mechanism, we have been able to track progress and share learnings on different strategies to support and promote women's leadership. GLOW Red has launched one progress report (in 2022) and organized several seminars to disseminate these learnings.

Ahead of the 34th International Conference we re-activated the Reporting Mechanism and collected more data to produce an updated progress report*:
