In celebration of the Women International Month. Celebrating Women Across the World! We are in solidarity with women across the world, with the #InternationalWomensDay 2021 theme, “Women in leadership: Achieving an equal future in a COVID-19 world”.
We join the fight for #GenerationEquality. Empowering women means more effective climate solutions, participation in decision-making in public life, elimination of violence, and promotion of peace and security. We will be celebrating all month-long the achievements of women throughout history and the continued fight for equality.
Be Loud. Stand Up. As part of our continued celebration of Women’s History Month and in honor of all our empowered partners in UNOP Dominicans, we want to highlight some of the women who are leading, innovating & leaving marks in their human rights work. In solidarity with women across the world.
