This year’s priority theme is “Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”. Our event will be an excellent opportunity for CSW67 delegates and the broader diplomatic community to learn more about challenges, successes and inspirations from women and youth around the world who use technology to build peace.
\MEDIATORS BEYOND BORDERS INTERNATIONAL (MBBI)- The United Nations Working Group of MBBI fosters the partnerships of support between both international communities of mediation within the United Nations system, while engaging MBBI members with supporting the UN initiatives relating to peace and justice. MBBI encourages the notion that women’s effective participation in peacebuilding is critical to sustainable peace. The Women in Mediation Action Group (WIMAG) stands firm in the belief that women’s access to technology and communications is a vital tool for conflict resolution and peacebuilding.
YOUNG DIPLOMATS OF CANADA (YDC) – The Young Diplomats of Canada is a federally incorporated non-profit, non-partisan, and youth-led organization comprised of a team of volunteers passionate about Canadian foreign policy, diplomacy, and international affairs.
