We have some news! Since 2010, EWEC has worked to advance the health and well-being of women, children & adolescents everywhere. One of our strengths is that we have always been nimble. Now—in our second decade—EWEC is shifting its focus to country-level action.
For a decade, EWEC has worked with governments, the private sector, foundations, NGOs and civil society to secure 776 commitments, including financial commitments worth a cumulative total of nearly US$186 billion.
An enabling environment for women’s activism is essential to women’s participation in public life. Laws that shrink civic space & are reducing women’s organizations’ abilities to register, advocate, receive funding and report on rights must be eliminated where they exist. #CSW65
