'Global Community Links' invite SMP members to attend:

Exploring Gender Equality and Linking
Saturday 26th March
London

What work is already being done to ensure equal rights for women worldwide?

What role can links play in promoting gender equality from community level to the global level?

How can we engage with the recently launched UN Women’s agency?

These are some of the questions we will be answering in a day of learning, interactive discussion and activities focused on Gender Equality.

Gender equality is a far reaching issue which is connected with a wide range of global issues, so it is relevant whether you work on HIV and AIDS or Environmental Sustainability. Come and join us to:
• Share your experiences and hear about what other links are doing to support gender equality
• Learn more about gender issues and the UN Women’s agency
• Take part in discussions about the role links can play in ensuring equal rights for women
• Find out what more your link can do to take action for gender equality
