Description

The alarming attacks on women’s rights in multilateral spaces, including at the World Health Organization (WHO) and other UN institutions, signal a disturbing escalation in the global attempt to undermine women’s role in societies. From the denial of sexual and reproductive rights to the weaponisation of women’s bodies in conflict zones, from the widespread violence against women to the brutal scenario of gender apartheid, patriarchal forces are relentlessly targeting the agency and freedom of women and girls worldwide. We are talking about a full-scale assault.

At this critical conjuncture, join us to challenge this mounting wave of regression. We need you to be part of a conversation that aims to transcend borders and bring everyone together to stop the pushback on all women’s rights.

Speakers will be announced soon
