A democratically organised membership organisation working for women's empowerment since 1989

connecting women to Europe

NAWO Attended the 53rd Session of the Commission on the Status of Women at the United Nations in New York. Our parallel event, Observatories on violence against women' was a big success and we would like to extend our thanks to all of you who participated.

 

The event used the example of observatories on violence against women to illustrate how women can lever change and influence decision making and Yakin Ertürk, United Nations special rapporteur on violence against women, highlighted that violence against women is systemic, socially approved subordination of women, designed to keep them in their place
