Women of the Diaspora is co-organized by the Republic of Costa Rica, the United Nations Population Fund and the African Renaissance and Diaspora Network. The focus of the virtual summit will be on gender equality, ending racism, and demonstrating how ending discrimination supports the advancement of the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The summit falls within the framework of the African Renaissance and Diaspora Network's "Red Card Campaign" to end all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls.<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__news.ardn.ngo_r_b165657ddc1009a634a869fd8-3Fct-3DYTo1OntzOjY6InNvdXJjZSI7YToyOntpOjA7czo1OiJlbWFpbCI7aToxO2k6MTc7fXM6NToiZW1haWwiO2k6MTc7czo0OiJzdGF0IjtzOjIyOiI1ZjQ2ZTBmYjUxODFkMDM1NDY5OTczIjtzOjQ6ImxlYWQiO3M6NDoiMjg0NSI7czo3OiJjaGFubmVsIjthOjE6e3M6NToiZW1haWwiO2k6MTc7fX0-253D-26&d=DwMFaQ&c=aKVGQ2uftgEtyjWUfhfCVjzs5Cm37_HE6-sIB-MDAow&r=rr9FQon61dy63FxFaVLo2UHvvwozVzY_kUA5Po8alBE&m=dVhDbTsa0jHJQGAzQhNGbAt0dVgLqNGPG25DDuxulig&s=duecXiYIm1qGMOV_xHcT7hlVwfT1YSTr6258izegEhQ&e=> This year marks the 75th anniversary of the United Nations. It comes at a time of great turmoil for the world. Amidst the global health crisis and the immense blow that it has dealt to the world economy, the inequalities and inequities in society have been brought further to light. 75 years ago, through the charter of the United Nations, "we the peoples" reaffirmed faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small. Today, more than ever, we need to rededicate ourselves to this aspiration and work together to uplift all members of our human family to create a better future for all and to ensure that no one is left behind. Please find enclosed, a copy of the invitation card and a concept note describing the Women of the Diaspora summit. I would appreciate it if you could share the information about the Virtual Women of the Diaspora Summit with your network.
