Today at 12noon Demos [2] is presenting a panel [3] discussing why U.S. ratification of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against [4] women matters to women at home and abroad. This is a conversation you don't want to miss! Michelle Wucker [5], Executive Director of the World Policy Institute, will moderate the panel with three distinguished speakers:

  • June Zeitlin,director of the CEDAW Education Project at the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights
  • Linda Tarr-Whelan [6], Demos Distinguished Senior Fellow and former Ambassador to the UN Commission on the Status of Women during the Clinton Administration
  • Letty Chiwara, Cross Regional Programs Manager at UNIFEM Headquarters in New York
