Our thoughts go out to the communities of Christchurch, NZ effected by yesterday's tragedies. We morn the senseless losses with you and wish you strength for the coming days and weeks.This week, we'll be giving daily updates from the Commission on the Status of Women, where ACWW's delegation is working hard to ensure that the voices of rural women are heard.
Today, they attended the Zero Draft Working Group, which works to establish the Agreed Conclusions for the Commission, the UK NGO CSW Alliance Briefing, and UK Mission to the UN for the briefing on the state of negotiations. This afternoon, they attended the UK Ambassadors reception for NGOs, with HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex (who was gifted an ACWW Teddy Bear!)
