International Women’s Democracy Network

From November 14-17, 2008, up to 1,500 women’s rights leaders and activists from around the world will converge on Cape Town, South Africa at the 11th AWID International Forum to discuss the power of movements.

Women leaders from Kyrgyzstan, Palestine, Pakistan, Mauritania, Nicaragua, and Nigeria will share culture-specific initiatives and practical strategies that they have used to encourage women to participate in making the decisions that affect their lives, families, and communities. WLP President Mahnaz Afkhami and Board Member Zainah Anwar will moderate this conversational-style, interactive dialogue that will involve the audience of NGO activists, academics, journalists, students, and policy makers.

The event will take place at the Kenney Auditorium of the School for International Studies at John Hopkins University, 1740 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC.
