Dear Members and Friends,
Another year is coming to its completion soon. ICUUW has been able to deliver so many beautiful and powerful programs, thanks to the support of people like you. Our newsletter is overflowing with reports of accomplishments and experiences in our quest for a more gender-inclusive world. Day by day, we are growing in size and strength. Our work at the United Nations is giving us an avenue to network with like-minded people and those with different perspectives. Our project in Kenya is empowering women at the local level and giving them the tools they need to support themselves and advocate for their rights.

The March meetings of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) have been our advocacy focus since we began developing a presence at the UN in 2019. Our colleague from Bolivia, Carmen Capriles, who was active at the UN long before that, has urged us to attend other events. This year we did just that: The most significant was participation in the High Level Political Forum (HLPF) in July. Then in September, a few of us attended the People’s Assembly, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Summit, and the March to End Fossil Fuels.
