Advocacy

Four RESURJ members were at the 10th Africa Conference on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ACSHR) which took place in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The 3-dayconference starting from June 29 to July 1 2022, with over 40 sessions cutting across themes on bodily autonomy, feminist movements, gender transformative change, accountability and leadership, intergenerational dialogue and well being.

RESURJ members from Mexico and Costa Rica engaged in the Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on Sustainable Development 2022, in San Jose, Costa Rica.

In an effort to continue exploring the interlinkages between digital justice, bodily autonomy and the limitations of using the criminalization as a response to online GBV, we convened a few feminist digital rights activists for a transnational conversation on how access, expression and violence on the internet are experienced by women and queer and trans people in their countries. This event was organized virtually at the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) which was held from 27th- 30th September. 

The 6th African Regional Forum on Sustainable Development provided major groups, governments, private sector and the United Nations system an opportunity to review progress, share experiences and lessons learnt as well as build consensus on the recommendations to accelerate the implementation of Agenda 2030 and Agenda 2063 of the African Union.

La última semana de enero de este 2020 participé en la Conferencia Regional de la Mujeres (CRM) en la sede de la CEPAL en Santiago de Chile, una conferencia que ha existido por los últimos 40 años.

I had the privilege of attending the Africa Review Conference on Beijing +25 in Addis Ababa and as a first time attendee of a platform review process it did feel like a big privilege.It felt like a privilege because without the support of feminist spaces like RESURJ I would never have had the opportunity to engage in these spaces.

This year I had the opportunity to be attending the African Civil Society Consultative Meeting for the Beijing +25 Review, held in Addis Ababa Ethiopia.

Vale la pena preguntarse por qué una Conferencia de este tipo, quiénes asisten y qué propósitos tiene. Hace 40 años, en 1977 en la Habana, Cuba, comenzaron estas Conferencias regionales de, para y con el movimiento feminista y de mujeres en su más amplia diversidad de la región, un espacio internacional que conduce y lleva adelante la Comisión Económica para América Latina -CEPAL-.

El Trigésimo sexto Período de sesiones de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe se llevó a cabo del 23 al 27 de mayo en la Ciudad de México con el tema “Horizontes 2030” aportando herramientas técnicas y generando compromisos para avanzar en el desarrollo sostenible en la región.

En el marco de la Segunda Conferencia Regional sobre Población y Desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe (CRPD-ALyC) celebrada en la ciudad de México, del 6 al 9 de octubre del 2015, los Estados de la región discutieron la adopción de la Guía Operacional[1] para la ejecución y el seguimiento del Consenso de Montevideo (CdM) sobre Población y Desarrollo, convirtiéndose en el instrumento técnico que daría las pautas para la implementación de una serie de Medidas Prioritarias (MP).
