AWOD was mentioned on the Women’s UN Report Program & Network. We are honored to be included on their list-serve. We hope this announcement will reach African Women far and wide. Thank you!
A little about this organization:
The Women’s UN Report Program & Network (WUNRN) is a non-governmental organization to implement the conclusions and recommendations of a United Nations Study on Freedom of Religion of Belief and the Status of Women From the Viewpoint of Religion and Traditions (E/CN.4/2002/73/Add.2). This study is a major, universal, comprehensive U.N. approach to intolerance and discrimination against women based on religion and traditions.
To strengthen the nexus between women’s rights and freedom of religion or belief, it is important to build on the Juridical and Factual Aspects of this study by research, plans of action and practical projects. WUNRN, together with The Tandem Project, is committed to this objective through support for the dignity and fundamental rights of women everywhere, and by the promotion of tolerance and the end of discrimination against women based on religion and traditions.
“Recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom peace and justice in the world”
