Program Priorities 2010
This year the Program committee of Women Graduates–USA identified three priority issues which demanded attention as first and urgent priorities. The three priority issues are
- The ratification of CEDAW
- Advocacy for access to education for girls, world wide
- Awareness of the extent and implications of trafficking of women and girls worldwide
A plan for action in the year 2010, as well as the identification of emerging and additional urgent priorities for 2011, are available for viewing, taking action, and discussion in The Meeting Place and under the Program Priorities tab.
11 July
World Population Day
This year's theme is chance to build awareness of the importance of educating girls to a wide range of development issues, including poverty, human rights
and gender equality.
Investing in Women is a Smart Choice
Investments in education and health for women and girls have been linked to increases in productivity, agricultural yields, and national income — all of which contribute to the achievement of the UN Millenium Development Goals (MDGs). Investments by governments worldwide have raised school enrolment rates, narrowed the gender gap in education, brought life-saving drugs to people living with AIDS, expanded HIV prevention, delivered bed nets to prevent malaria, and improved child health through immunization. >> source UNFPA
