Report Summary

In 2022, Luxembourg reported on actions related to including women and women’s organizations in decision-making on women’s economic security access to resources and decision-making related to peacebuilding and addressing discriminatory legislation and practices that hinder women’s economic empowerment. Luxembourg noted the country’s actions tackling discriminatory legislation and practices that hinder economic empowerment, such as through contributions to the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI) European Representation Office to advance women’s empower¬ment and gender-inclusive finance (GIF). In the past three-year period, 47 policies and regulations prioritizing GIF have been implemented by 28 countries globally. AFI’s Financial Inclusion in Latin America and the Caribbean Project, launched in December 2022 with the support of Luxembourg, has incorporated GIF as a cross-cutting policy priority supporting the development in 2023 of a Policy Roadmap for women’s financial inclusion in the region. Luxembourg also supports efforts to increase the representation of women in multilat¬eral organizations. For example, all positions for Junior Professional Officers (JPOs) in multilateral organizations were filled by women staff members (five positions recruited in total). Moreover, among the seven Junior Technical Assistant positions within the coun¬try’s Development Agency (LuxDev), five positions were awarded to women.
Additionally, Luxembourg has provided multi-year funding of €5 million from 2021 to 2024 to the Dr. Denis Mukwege’s Panzi hospital in the DRC. The hospital provides holistic support for the treatment of rape victims, including facilitating their access to justice and legal assistance and socioeconomic support for their reintegration into society. Furthermore, the country supported the UNFPA-UNICEF programme on the elimination of female geni¬tal mutilation and cutting in 17 African countries with €2.8 million from 2022 to 2025. In 2022, Luxembourg supported the International Court of Transitional Justice with aiding women survivors, including of SGBV, in 23 countries to get access to justice and transi¬tional processes. Luxembourg also funds research on mental health and psychosocial support in transitional justice policies, generating insights on justice services for victims of human rights violations, including GBV.
