Two of APC’s long-time staff and women’s rights leaders are leaving APC’s Women’s Rights Programme as of 1 July: Jac sm Kee and Dafne Sabanes Plou. A leadership team will take over the coordination of the programme.
The fifty-seventh session of the Commission on the Status of Women will take place at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 4 to 15 March 2013 under the theme “Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls.” The APC Women’s Rights Programme has a full agenda at the event as part of its advocacy efforts supporting women’s and internet rights.
