EU News: Recommendations from the GFATM Partnership Forum in Senegal

26 November

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the EU Presidency has reaffirmed the commitment of the European Union to the human rights of women, in time for the sixtieth anniversary of the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10. Violence and discrimination continue to afflict women around the world, continuing their vulnerability to injustice, particularly in domestic and conflict situations. This declaration confirms European support for the equality and important role of women in the development and good governance of societies.

Resources: ReProductive Aid Web-based Video Conference

On behalf of ReProductive Aid, DSW convened a global videoconference with civil society leaders, parliamentarians, and government ministry officials in Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Brussels, Geneva, Kampala and London to discuss how to improve RH funding in the new aid architecture. Featuring keynote presentations by Dr. Eckard Deutscher of the OECD DAC, and Dr. Gill Greer of IPPF, the videoconference is part of a broader effort to empower civil society in the rich and poor countries to help influence donor funding for RH in the new aid environment. The entire video conference can be viewed at the following address:
