    Dear all,

    2012 is behind us and brought us a lot of initiatives and great expectations. Education for women and girls is still a reason for IFUW to mobilize and advocate across the world, with some dreadful examples like in India and Pakistan. Also in Afghanistan (where I currently work as a member of the European Police mission) which is one of the most unsafe countries for women in the world, education is the key to escape poverty and suppression. It may seem far away from Europe and our own worries but also in Europe we find that the Istanbul convention on Elimination of Violence against Women is still not signed by most of the European countries. More on this subject see the information of the TAUW (Turkey did sign this convention) and this blog and our UWE Action Plan.

    The UWE Action Plan which is still a draft  is the most important topic for the board meeting this January. As we would lilke to have as much input as we in any way possible we kindly invite you to use skype edith.lommerse1 , this blog or email (edha@live.nl)  to give us feedback and tell us which subjects your NFA particularly likes. So far we received input from the Netherlands, Turkey and the president of IFUW mostly saying that it is a great plan but maybe too ambitious and we are asked to have more focus. We will o fcourse do that but only after we have received your input.

    I would really like to get some feedback and respons on the messages and questions we the UWE board present. It would make our work much more efficient and satisfactory if we at least would get a respons from the CER's. So once again let us know if you are able to come to the special board meeting in Amsterdam for CER's on thge 26th for the board on tyhe 25th of January.

    We the UWE board wish you and your loved ones a happy, healthy and inspiring 2013! 

    Edith Lommerse

    UWE President
