Help Make the UN Human Rights Council Work for Women’s Rights
From April 10 to April 26, 2007, diplomats with the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) will meet in Geneva to define how the Council will carry out its work in the coming years. Human and women’s rights organizations across the globe are coming together to insist that the voices of women and girls are heard.
Join the growing list of supporters and add your organization’s signature to our petition insisting that the UNHRC addresses women’s and girls’ rights appropriately and prominently.
Although the Human Rights Council will make final decisions on the agenda and other items in early June, the main negotiations are happening now.
