Since the World Radiocommunication Conference (WRC-19) <\/h1>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

the Radiocommunication Bureau has undertaken several bold initiatives to advance women\u2019s participation in all our activities including conferences, meetings, seminars, and Study Groups.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

During the ITU WRS Online 2020 Plenary, in December 2020, the Network of Women for WRC-23 (NOW4WRC23)<\/a> was launched. The aim of this initiative is to start building capacity and to encourage a larger participation of women in key roles in the next WRC-23, and in our meetings and conferences as delegates, chairs, and vice-chairs.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

This initiative will go a long way to inspire a new generation of women in radiocommunications and contribute towards exceeding the 30 per cent threshold of women in key roles at ITU-R.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In addition, the Radiocommunication Advisory Group (RAG) Correspondence Group on Gender<\/a> is already working towards identifying how our membership can reduce the gender parity gap.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
