International Women's Day solidarity Space and Discussion on the State of Women in Humanitarian Emergencies
International Women's Day has been observed since the early 1900s - a time of great expansion and turbulence in the industrialized world that saw booming population growth and the rise of radical ideologies. Women's oppression and inequality spurred women to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. Learn more about the history of International Women's Day here.
On International Women’s Day, March 8 2023, the GBV AOR Community of Practice would like to invite you to a solidarity space and discussion on the status of women in humanitarian emergencies in 2023.
We'd like to spend an hour putting our attention on how the conflicts that we are responding to are affecting women, particularly women human rights defenders. We'll discuss what is happening to women in Afghanistan, Iran, Haiti, Somalia, and anywhere else that we work.
Our intention is to create a space of feminist solidarity on Zoom to discuss and support each other and reflect on the challenges we are all facing this year. The discussion will not be recorded and there will be no PowerPoints or formal presentations, just a space to come and listen and talk and rant and be with others who care about women and girls.
Date: 8 March 2023
Time: 14:00 CET (Geneva)
