In collaboration with global networks like the Women’s Major Group (WMG), EDN actively contributed to discussions shaping the 2024 position paper for the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF). This transformative document calls for systemic change to tackle global crises and achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. With a focus on gender equality, climate action, and equitable financial reforms, the paper reflects EDN’s commitment to advancing inclusive, feminist solutions.
Open Letter to the UN Human Rights Council
EDN, in collaboration with global human rights organizations, urged the UN Human Rights Council to address the dire human rights crisis in Afghanistan. The letter called for renewing the Special Rapporteur’s mandate, creating an independent accountability mechanism, and recognizing gender apartheid as a crime under international law. These actions aim to combat widespread human rights abuses, particularly the systematic persecution of women and girls by the Taliban.
