Overview
The 2022 ERC conference was attended by representatives from Member States, civil society organisations, and multilaterals – both in person in Buenos Aires, and online. Across the two days, sessions were held on cross-cutting issues (such as addressing the anti-gender movement, and integrating LGBTI work across government), the operations of the ERC and how to take the mechanism forwards, and the four Thematic Groups. There was also a conversation with Victor Madrigal, the UN Independent Expert on SOGI, and pledges from Member States to advance the ERC goals.
The conference concluded with Argentina and the UK passing the ERC leadership on to the incoming co-chairs of Germany and Mexico.
Documents distributed in advance of the conference included the pre-conference report and the anti-gender movement background paper. A post-conference report will be shared in due course.
