🤔 How can we reduce the harmful impacts of women imprisonment from a global POV? 💡 An upcoming #CSW69 side event will highlight the links between poverty & the scale of the problem for incarcerated women & innovative solutions that UN Member States can adopt. RSVP: www.sdg16.plus/events/csw69...
An event promotional graphic for the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69). It announces a session titled "Promising Practices to Reduce the Harmful Impact of Imprisonment on Women: A Key Step Forward in Implementing the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action." The event details are as follows: March 17, 2025; 10:00–11:15 a.m. (EST); United Nations Headquarters, Conference Room 9. The graphic features logos of organizing and supporting entities on top. A background image of Lady Justice is subtly visible, emphasizing themes of justice and equity. The color scheme is blue and red, with bold typography highlighting the session title and details.
