November Monthly Member Meeting – Advocacy in Action

Advocacy in Action: From the UN to Our Communities

Tuesday, November 17 | 12:00–1:00 PM | Virtual

Join us for our November Monthly Member Meeting as we explore the connection between international advocacy and local action.

We’ll look at how issues and priorities discussed at the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) can inspire advocacy and action here in Canada, such as BPW’s recent resolution, “Closing Gaps in Canada’s Sexual Assault Response System”.

We’ll discuss how this resolution was inspired by conversations and priorities at CSW, what it aims to address, and how we can help move it from a national resolution to meaningful action at the provincial and local levels.

During the session, we’ll:

• Explore what CSW is and how international discussions influence advocacy priorities.
• Learn about BPW’s resolution, “Closing Gaps in Canada’s Sexual Assault Response System.”
• Brainstorm opportunities to build on this national resolution and create meaningful change at the provincial and community levels.

This is an opportunity to learn, share perspectives, and be part of the conversation about how we can turn advocacy into action.

This meeting is for BPW Edmonton members, and each member is welcome to bring a guest for free. It’s a great opportunity to introduce someone to BPW and invite them into the conversation.
