We are pleased to invite you to join us in launching our report, Bled Dry: How tax abuse, illicit financial flows and debt affect women and girls in Africa. Our research highlights a clear reality: we cannot achieve true gender equality without fixing our tax systems. Tax Justice is Gender Justice.
As negotiations toward a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation (UNFCITC) move forward, this moment presents a historic opportunity to confront entrenched global inequalities and reimagine tax systems that work for people and planet. Yet realising this potential requires grappling with persistent power imbalances, gendered impacts of austerity, regressive taxation, illicit financial flows, and corporate tax avoidance.
This webinar will bring together critical perspectives to explore the tax reforms needed to sustainably finance a just economy. Discussions will examine the structural drivers of tax injustice, the political economy constraints facing states, and concrete entry points within the UNFCITC process to advance gender‑responsive, just outcomes.
