As part of its advocacy efforts, EDN collaborated with the Women’s Major Group (WMG) to shape the 2023 HLPF Position Paper. The document emphasizes the urgent need for systemic reforms to advance the 2030 Agenda, with a focus on gender equality, social justice, and environmental sustainability. EDN’s input ensures that voices from underrepresented communities are at the forefront of global decision-making.
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.
