ASTRA and ASTRA Youth will join 5,000 global health and development experts at the 3rd Women Deliver global conference, which takes place on 28-30 May in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Marina Latifova from Azerbaijan, Tetiana Slobodian from Ukraine, Aysel Askerova from Azerbaijan and Martyna Zimniewska, ASTRA Youth Coordinator from Poland, will represent the regional voice among thousands of participants from around the world, including government leaders, policymakers, healthcare professionals, NGO representatives, corporate leaders, and global media outlets. More than 120 concurrent sessions, high-level plenaries, skills-building workshops, and ministerial and parliamentarian forums will inspire and inform the participants’ work to build a better world for girls and women.

The Women Deliver 2013 conference is one of the key dates in the international population and development calendar. With the 2015 Millennium Development Goal deadline rapidly approaching, the time is now to deliver for girls and women. Women Deliver 2013 will serve as a global platform for ensuring that the health and rights of girls and women remain top priorities now, and for decades to come.
