Review for Womens Intercultural Network Inc, Los Angeles, CA, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

Two things -- one related to policy, the other related to practice. Two goals emerged from the meetings following on the United Nations 4th World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995 for the Task Force on The Girl Child: The ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women ( CEDAW, also known as the Women's Rights Treaty), and the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Although almost all countries have done it, albeit with reservations, neither convention has been ratified by the USA. This is an embarrassment that needs to be addressed. I believe in WIN's commitment to realizing this next step toward universal human rights. Also: I support the ways that WIN/CAWA is creating a global network for women and girls to realize their full potential. It is exemplary.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

While my commitment has been voluntary, I continue to support the vision and goals of WIN/CAWA. These have provided guiding principles, and support for me, personally and professionally for the past 15 years.
