Gender and Behavioural Science 

BeSci can reshape gender policy by uncovering how biases, mental models and social norms influence behaviours and social structures perpetuating gender inequality.
This event highlighted strategies to address unequal social and gender norms. The World Bank provided guidance on how to apply a social norms lens to gender policy and interventions. UNDP discussed their "Brave Schools" initiative, which changed perspectives and behaviours around gender issues through dialogue and reflection on social norms. UNODC demonstrated how gendered norms shape experiences with organised crime and how behavioural science can inform gender-sensitive policies.
