About the 8th Pan African Conference on Illicit Financial Flows and Taxation (PAC 2020)<\/b><\/p>\n

The conference will be a combination of in-country physical events (where possible) as well as virtual breakaway and plenary sessions held under the theme: \u201cThe Africa We Want Post COVID-19: Optimizing Domestic Resource Mobilization from the Extractive Sector for Africa\u2019s Transformation.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/b><\/p>\n

The Covid-19 pandemic continues to expose and deepen existing inequalities including gender inequality. It has highlighted the need for Global South countries to maximize domestic resource mobilization as a source of development finance including for reducing gender inequalities by 2030. However, austerity measures, regressive tax policies and core flaws in international financial architecture including financial secrecy policies that enable tax havens, have facilitated widespread race-to-the-bottom tax dodging to the benefit of male-dominated corporations and the rich\u2014while limiting funding for public services such as education, healthcare, water and sanitation, and social protection for rural women.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the hallmarks of countries dependent on extractives revenues is abandonment of progressive tax provisions as governments cater to the needs of extractive operations. At the same time, among the most egregious tax dodgers are extractives companies, which enjoy preferential tax treatment and figure in aggressive tax abuse practices within and across jurisdictions. The results include erosion of domestic tax revenues, local economies, and women\u2019s livelihoods; destruction of traditional sources of food and medicines especially of indigenous women; and increasing gender-based discrimination and violence, among others<\/span><\/p>\n

Women need to be recognized as significant agents of social and economic transformation within their communities. They are full citizens of states who should fully share in the social contract between state and citizen and their social services needs taken care of and not be relegated to farm inputs, access to water, land tenure and cheap free labour. But they are also among the most invisible and disposable in mining communities, where their rights to work, health, a clean and safe environment, essential services and natural resources, are run roughshod by mining corporations. Using tax and gender perspectives are vital in claiming and defending these rights. Rural women will never be truly empowered if macroeconomic policy and global financial flows that currently perpetuate inequalities are not addressed. Tax abuses deprive countries of domestic resources they need to fund public services and programs (including education and training) to ensure women have access to decent work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Objectives<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Emphasize Global South perspectives and voices to highlight national-to-international links between gender and tax issues with a focus on women in mining-affected communities, share strategies,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Discuss opportunities for continued collaborative action to empower them and end inequality by operationalizing gender equality tax and gender justice legal principles.<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Advocate for governments to take action to address the broken global tax system, which continues to undermine the rights of women and girls. Solutions include establishing a UN global tax commission where all governments have a seat at the table to decide international tax policies, and for governments to apply a gender lens to both spending and raising taxes progressively to fund public services for all. Specifically, we want to advance the call for a legally binding instrument on business and human rights, harmonized with the CEDAW and other core international human rights treaties.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
