The Citizens' Assembly on Gender Equality is ongoing (since January 2020). It includes 99 randomly selected citizens, who were meant to meet over six weekends throughout the year. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, several of these meetings have been postponed (as of March 2021).

Participant Recruitment and Selection
The institute Amárach Research selected participants nationwide following a multi-stage selection process. Sample points were first defined in accordance with census data to ensure that regions were equally represented. Interviewers then interviewed householders at every nth house to fill their recruitment quotas (age, gender and region), to capture contact details and to ensure that the person was eligible to participate (only citizens entitled to vote in referendums were allowed). Politicians, officers in political parties, journalists, employees of polling companies, and members of advocacy groups active in the area of gender equality were screened out.
