Join us at the Non-governmental Organizations Commission on the Status of Women Forum in March, where we will join the Federation of Cuban Women in events to educate people on the impacts of the 61-year-old US blockade against Cuba and what we can do to lift the blockade and remove Cuba from the US list of state sponsors of terrorism.

 

From March 3-17, during the United Nations' annual Commission on the Status of Women, almost 800 events draw thousands of women from all over the world that inform, engage and inspire grassroots efforts and advocacy needed to empower women and girls. The priority theme of the UN CSW is: Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.
