[Pdf-women] Feminist & Women's Movement Action Plan - Beijing + 25 Review Process - Civil Society Advisory Working Group

[Soloveni Vitoso]

Via FAR - Feminist Alliance for Rights



The Civil Society Advisory Working Group (AWG) of the Beijing +25 review process has shared the minute of their last call on December 23th. The minutes are attached to this email. The next call of the AWG is Tuesday January 7th at 5pm (EST). If you want to join this group comprised by more than 280 activists, send a message to beijing25 at ngocsw.org<mailto:beijing25 at ngocsw.org>.



Among the various parallel initiatives reported, we want to highlight the progress and next steps of the Feminist Women's Movement Action Plan (FWMAP), which is the women's organizations' initiative built upon existing legal obligations and international consensus to assert women's human rights throughout the review process and beyond. As women's human rights is also at the core of FAR's work, we want to invite our members to actively engage with the FWMAP.



In the past months, six thematic groups were formed to organize themes in order to address issues and achieve the goals of the FWMAP:



? Environmental conservation, protection and rehabilitation

? Freedom from violence, stigma and stereotypes

? Poverty eradication, social protection and social services

? Inclusive development, share prosperity and decent work

? Peaceful and inclusive societies

? Participation, accountability and gender-responsive institutions



As we are entering to a second stage, we have been invited to participate in virtual conferences using VoiceVoice calls and Maestro, to discuss topics and issues under each thematic working group during January and February. Check out the schedule<https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByQy5nZ9AwPcWmE3UnhLWnROVW83TEZXY2NwdlpCQWFENGVj/view?usp=sharing> and save the date.
