Day 3: Saturday 27 October

SESSION FIVE : LOOKING FORWARD

The participants were requested to present their action plans based on the areas of action
suggested to them the previous day. Before the country presentations, Ms. Shoko Ishikawa
of UNIFEM briefly outlined to participants the areas that UNIFEM support may be available.
She explained that UNIFEM would be interested in supporting the countries to build up their
support base (the Judicial Support and Community Support in the pyramid of support) which is
crucial for initiating a sustainable and judge-owned equality education process. UNIFE would also
be interested in supporting the development of resource persons at the regional level.

The country presentations that followed are detailed in the Annex to this report. All 7 participating

countries have shown their interest and made efforts in developing judicial education
programme on gender equality.

CLOSING REMARKS

Justice Sirichai Wattanayothin thanked co-organizer, UNIFEM and Chiang Mai University

for providing him a chance to attend this meeting on gender equality education programme.
He highlighted that it was a valuable experience for him to exchange ideas and experience on
the gender equality issue with other judges from various countries, and it made him to realize
there is a need of gender responsive judiciary for helping the people suffering from gender
based discrimination. He hoped that all of his colleague would have a chance to be involved
in judicial education on gender equality in the future.

UNIFEM and Chiang Mai University thanked the participants for their interest and efforts
on judicial gender equality education and hoped they could elaborate more on what they have

learned from the colloquium and bring about changes in their own countries. Participants
were encouraged to contact the UNIFEM CEDAW SEAP National Coordinators to discuss follow-up
on the action plans.
