SNJM Participants
From March ninth to the fourteenth, Phyllis Douillard, SNJM, Bathilda Heqoa, SNJM, Dorothy Guha, SNJM Associate and Claudette Bastien, SNJM, took part in the “58th Commission on the Status of Women” at the United Nations in New York.
The theme for this year had as its priority to focus on the challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls.
The participants reviewed the follow-up given to the conclusions of the 54th session held in 2011,which was devoted to access to education, formation, science and technology for women and girls and which consists of promoting equality in accessing full employment and decent work.
We attended several workshops prepared by Non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) on the same themes.
