The Asia-Pacific Ministerial Conference on the Beijing+30 Review took place during 19 to 21 November 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. During the conference, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and Global Health Advocacy Incubator (GHAI), along with their partners, organized a side event titled "Inclusion of Gender Diversity in Gender Equality Efforts: Focus on CRVS and Legal Identity". 

The event highlighted the importance of gender inclusivity in civil registration and vital statistics (CRVS) systems. The event emphasized the need to address barriers to universal legal identity, particularly for marginalized groups such as women, children, and gender-diverse individuals. By prioritizing gender inclusivity in CRVS systems, countries can make significant progress towards achieving gender equality and the Sustainable Development Goals.
