The SWI is a proud sister charity of the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW). The charity uses its Constultative Status with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) to amplify the voices of rural women globally, so that the problems they face and the solutions they raise are heard and acknowledged by international policy makers and legislators.
We are delighted to introduce a new ACWW podcast which celebrates women’s leadership and shares stories and lessons learned to build new ways to lead the world.
The latest episode was recorded at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris and live during the 68th Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York. It features:
