Canadian Delegation to the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly (SECO)
The Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe’s Office of Human Rights (ODIHR) hosted a webinar entitled ‘Gender responsive short-term visa policies: Overview of practices in the OSCE region and recommendations for improvement’. The event was organized to call attention to ODIHR’s policy brief on the topic and to allow for a discussion on best practices and on how to improve gender responsiveness in this area.
The Honourable Hedy Fry, P.C., M.P., head of the Canadian Delegation to the OSCE PA and Special Representative on Gender Issues participated as a panelist. She noted that the policy brief contained several Canadian examples and shared more details about Canada’s visa policy, specifically about its temporary resident visas and permits. She also spoke about three Canadian visitor visa initiatives that address gender and about Canada’s commitment to Gender-based Analysis Plus.
