On 15th November 2017, AWID, as part of the Observatory on the Universality of Rights (OURs), is providing a platform for feminist activists and women’s rights advocates, partners and allies to discuss the state of anti-rights organizing and ways forward for the collective resistance.
Join AWID and OURs on Wednesday, 15th November from 10am EST to 12pm EST in a conversation to discuss:
- Who is behind these attacks on the universality of rights?
- Which of their strategies have been successful in making inroads into UN systems, and what effects has this already had?
- What is the link between attacks on the universality of rights at the UN and the rise of ultra-conservative forces locally and regionally?
- How are feminists and human rights advocates resisting already, and how can we strengthen our collective push-back?
Registration deadline is 14 November 2017. Spaces are limited and access to the session will be given on a first come first served basis.
