Join WEDO, and PeaceWomen, at a workshop on financing the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda on July 7-8 in preparation for the 2016 AWID Forum in Brazil, and the High Level Political Forum at the UN Headquarters in New York.

WEDO’s Eleanor Blomstrom will be presenting on a panel on the “UN, WPS & CSO-Inclusive Financing” on the 7th of July from 4:15PM – 5:15PM.

“Despite the wealth of evidence highlighting the benefits that investing in women can bring in terms of conflict prevention, crisis response and peace, the failure to allocate sufficient resources and funds has been perhaps the most serious and persistent obstacle to the implementation of the women, peace and security agenda over the past 15 years.”
