As part of the peace and security agenda, which ASFDU is implementing in partnership with other organizations, we chaired the Caravan Committee in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election. A national awareness-raising, advocacy, dialogue, and mobilization campaign, in the form of a caravan, was initiated in all 14 regions of Senegal. Within this framework, community forums were organized, involving women leaders, youth, grassroots communities, local elected officials, and opinion leaders to convey messages for peaceful, transparent, and democratic elections in a peaceful social climate. A way to participate in the Women, Peace and Security agenda. Finally, within the framework of women's political participation, as a member of the National Monitoring Network for the Application of Parity (RNVA), responsible for monitoring and evaluating the effective application of the law on parity, the ASFDU prepared the monitoring report in collaboration with the National Observatory of Parity (ONP) and participated in a series...

Sudha Srivastava started the session with a presentation on leadership development. She claimed that female leadership matters because it enables diversity, inclusiveness and economic growth. Leadership positions are difficult to access for women because of challenges such as gender bias and societal stereotypes, work-life balance pressures, limited mentorship and networking opportunities, unequal access to leadership roles and training. To encourage female leadership, we can make sure girls are being exposed to role models, we can work with schools and children picture books to normalise women in leadership roles. Targeted leadership training programs, skill development and confidence-building workshops are also effective. Cynthia A. Adinortey then talked abput period poverty and menstrual hygiene. Period poverty often prevents girls from going to school, has educational impact, health risk, social and economic implications. Girls in rural and peri-urban areas can miss 3 to 5 days of school each month. Period poverty is exacerbated by a luxury tax on foreign sanitary pads, making them unaffordable. The Ghana Association of University Women created “the GAUW Menstrual Hygiene Project”. It focused on empowering women and girls by providing them with knowledge and tools about periods. Girls and boys need to be educated on the matter. Finally, Nyarai Tunjera talk about digital literacy and AI. 250 million women worldwide lack digital skills, limiting their economic opportunities. Women are 45% less likely to have digital skills than men. She consideres digital literacy as a Human right. She participated and organized digital literacy training for marginalised women and girls in Cape town to improve their lives, enhance their opportunities and contribute to their communities. Many of these programmes face challenges and need further support. {How can the session serve GWI members on local. national and/or international levels?:15} Most of the initiatives mentioned in the session face challenges like funding and sustainability, access to resources and...

Mrs.Dunbar GWNZ Friday 14 March 2025: Women’s Empowerment Toolkit Parallel event Sponsored by the International Human Rights Consortium (IHRC) Women and the environment, Women in power and decision-making, Women and the economy, Education and training of women, Women and poverty, Women and health SDG 1 – No Poverty, SDG3 – Good Health and Well-Being, SDG4 – Quality Education, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG 10 – Reduced Inequality, SDG17 – Partnerships to achieve the Goal Harassment (2016), Young Members (2016), Building Peace through Women’s Education (2019), Women and STEM (2019), Securing increased Domestic Funding for Education to include equal and safe access to Digital Learning (2022), Promoting and defending human rights of women in universities and other post-secondary forms of education (2022) This session aligns closely with the advocacy work of Graduate Women New Zealand (GWNZ), which focuses on promoting lifelong education, gender equality, and leadership opportunities for women at all stages of life. GWNZ is committed to ensuring that women have access to the resources and support needed to advance their education, achieve financial independence, and take on leadership roles in society. The Women’s Empowerment Toolkit session reinforced these priorities by emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and professional development. The discussion on bridging the gap between education and industry directly supports GWNZ’s advocacy for educational policies that prepare women for meaningful employment, ensuring they have the skills and qualifications needed to succeed in an evolving workforce. The session also highlighted the importance of mentorship programs, which align with GWNZ’s commitment to fostering networks that empower women through guidance, role modeling, and leadership development. Economic empowerment was another key theme, particularly in relation to financial independence, career progression, and entrepreneurship. GWNZ advocates for gender-responsive policies that remove financial barriers to education, making university and vocational training more accessible to women. The session’s focus on breaking economic and social barriers for women through financial literacy and career readiness reflects GWNZ’s ongoing efforts to support women’s economic security and workforce participation. The session also addressed the need for greater representation of women in leadership and decision-making, a key advocacy area for GWNZ. By promoting policies that support women’s leadership in governance, business, and trade, GWNZ works to ensure that women’s voices are included at all levels of decision-making. The session’s discussions on gender diversity, inclusion, and breaking barriers in leadership contribute to this goal by reinforcing the importance of advocacy, mentorship, and systemic change. Finally, the session’s emphasis on wellness and self-investment resonates with GWNZ’s holistic approach to women’s empowerment. Ensuring that women have access to mental and physical health resources, work-life balance, and well-being initiatives is crucial for long-term success. Women’s Empowerment Toolkit: A Roadmap for Change The Women’s Empowerment Toolkit event, sponsored by the International Human Rights Consortium (IHRC), brought together an expert panel to discuss strategies for overcoming social, economic, and cultural barriers that limit women’s progress. The session provided a roadmap for fostering an inclusive and empowered world for women. Panel Speakers: – Janice Robinson – President, International Human Rights Consortium – Sita Somara – Advocate for financial empowerment and access to education – Bobbie Shrivaastav – Expert in digital transformation and enterprise workflows – Jvothi Para – Mentor and champion for women in...

Mrs.Dunbar GWNZ 13/3/25 – Empowerment of Women in Politics, Economy and Education Parallel event The International Council of Women(ICW), Welcome Clubs International(WCI), and Korean Institute for Women and Politics(KIWP) Women and the environment, Women in power and decision-making, Women and the economy, Human rights of women, Education and training of women, Violence against women, Women and poverty, Institutional mechanisms SDG3 – Good Health and Well-Being, SDG4 – Quality Education, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure, SDG17 – Partnerships to achieve the Goal Bullying (2016), Harassment (2016), Building Peace through Women’s Education (2019), To end under representation of women in media as a positive contribution to improve the status of all women in the world (2022), Violence Against Women in Politics (2022), Climate Emergency – Declarations and Action Plans (2022) This session aligns strongly with GWNZ’s advocacy work, particularly in promoting women’s leadership, financial independence, and political participation. GWNZ has long supported initiatives that encourage women to take on leadership roles, and the session’s discussion on breaking down structural barriers in politics and the economy reinforces this commitment. The emphasis on mentorship, intergenerational collaboration, and institutional support aligns with GWNZ’s efforts to create strong networks that empower women and girls to pursue leadership positions. The call for systemic policy shifts to close the gender pay gap and ensure women have equal access to funding and opportunities is also an area where GWNZ is currently advocating for change at the national level. Additionally, the session’s focus on financial empowerment and digital inclusion resonates with GWNZ’s mission to advance education and economic security for women. Discussions around social protection systems, wealth-building strategies, and gender-responsive technology highlight key areas where GWNZ can continue to advocate for policies that support women’s financial independence and economic resilience. The recognition that gender equality must be embedded in decision-making structures aligns with GWNZ’s ongoing work in policy influence and governance representation. This session reinforced the need for bold, collective collaborative action—a principle that sits at the heart of GWNZ’s advocacy efforts for a more equitable future. This event, co-hosted by the International Council of Women (ICW), Welcome Clubs International (WCI), and the Korean Institute for Women and Politics (KIWP), evaluated progress since the Beijing Declaration and addressed barriers that continue to limit women’s full participation in politics and the economy. Key Takeaways from the panel: 1. The Gender Leadership Gap Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in leadership across politics and business. In 2024, only 27% of parliamentary seats and 23% of cabinet positions worldwide were held by women, with just 10.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs being female. The 20% global gender pay gap reinforces financial disparities that hinder women from entering politics, where funding is crucial. 2. Barriers to Women’s Political Participation Structural barriers, including economic and social biases, masculine political culture, and psychological violence, continue to discourage women from entering politics. Gender-based political violence is normalised and must be actively addressed. Women need funding, networks, and institutional support to run for office. 3. Economic Inequality and Women’s Financial Empowerment With men holding the majority of global wealth, women’s financial independence is critical to closing the gap. Solutions discussed included: • Care infrastructure to prevent women from being forced out of the workforce. • Asset management...

Mrs.Dunbar GWNZ 14/3/25 -Educating Women and Girls: Advancing their Empowerment and Equality Parallel event. Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) and Women Graduates-USA Women and the environment, Women in power and decision-making, Women and the economy, Human rights of women, Education and training of women, Women and poverty, Women and health SDG3 – Good Health and Well-Being, SDG4 – Quality Education, SDG5 – Gender Equality, SDG8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth Harassment (2016), Building Peace through Women’s Education (2019), Women and STEM (2019), Securing increased Domestic Funding for Education to include equal and safe access to Digital Learning (2022), Promoting and defending human rights of women in universities and other post-secondary forms of education (2022), A Clean, Healthy and Sustainable Environment is a Human Right (2022) This session aligns closely with GWNZ’s advocacy work in promoting education, leadership, and gender equality for women and girls. The discussion reinforced the importance of ensuring equitable access to quality education, a core focus for GWNZ, particularly in supporting women’s academic and professional advancement. The emphasis on mentorship and intergenerational learning reflects GWNZ’s commitment to fostering strong networks that empower women through shared knowledge and support. The innovative solutions presented, such as digital learning tools for marginalised girls, highlight the need for bold, practical approaches—an area where GWNZ continues to advocate for systemic change to close educational gaps and increase opportunities for all women. Additionally, the session’s focus on leadership development and critical thinking aligns with GWNZ’s work in encouraging women’s participation in governance, decision-making, and policy advocacy. The discussion on media’s role in shaping public perceptions and driving change echoes GWNZ’s efforts to influence conversations around gender equality at a national level. The call to bring CEDAW back into CSW discussions also supports GWNZ’s broader advocacy goals of strengthening legal protections and holding governments accountable for their commitments to women’s rights. This session reinforced the need for continued advocacy, collaboration, and action—values that remain at the heart of GWNZ’s mission. Attending this NGO CSW69 parallel event, co-hosted by the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) and Women Graduates-USA, was inspiring and thought-provoking. The discussion explored how education drives gender equality and leadership, emphasising the need for innovation, collaboration, and action. Key Takeaways: 1. Education as a Pathway to Leadership Joan-Marie Aylward highlighted that leadership is shaped by education, empathy, confidence, and strong communication. She stressed the value of intergenerational learning and mentorship from both men and women. Safe spaces like The Reading Room allow women to connect and uplift each other. 2. Ensuring Access to Quality Education Wanda Bedard noted that education reduces poverty and fosters stability, but displacement and marginalisation still hinder girls’ learning. Innovation is key—tools like the ‘Rachel’ server provide free, self-directed education in local languages, increasing literacy, confidence, and school attendance without requiring Wi-Fi. 3. Developing Critical Thinking in Women and Girls Geeta Desai emphasised the changing global landscape, requiring women to strengthen critical thinking, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Encouraging debate, questioning biases, and fostering multi-perspective problem-solving are crucial for the next generation of female leaders. 4. Addressing Barriers to the Beijing Platform for Action Soon-Young Yoon highlighted the gap between commitments on paper and real action. Governments must be held accountable. Media plays a major role in educating society and driving change. Gender equality is interconnected...
