Our side event, “Advancing the Rights Protection

Our side event, “Advancing the Rights Protections of Migrant Women and Girls Over the Next 30 Years”, brought together key voices to assess progress since Beijing+30 and map out the road ahead.

From policy shifts to grassroots action, the conversation highlighted the urgent need for gender-responsive migration policies, protection from exploitation, and meaningful participation of migrant women in decision-making.

This event was organized in partnership with IOM, UN Women, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany, the Permanent Mission of Colombia to the UN, and ILO.

No Backlash to Women’s Rights!

Yesterday, on the sidelines of CSW69, we took to the streets of New York City alongside over 150 activists, labor leaders, and feminists to demand justice and fight back against rising authoritarianism, gender oppression, and attacks on migrant rights.

We united to say: “Women’s rights: We won’t go back!”

As June Barrett from @idwfed U.S. powerfully reminded us: “We are women, we are men, we are gender non-conforming people, and we have fought this fight before—and we won. The only safe community is an organized community.”

Together, we rise. Together, we fight. And together, we win.
