CSW69 NGO Forum: Decolonizing disability and queerness in the realization of the Beijing +30 Agenda.

Join Akina Mama wa Afrika, Liliane Fonds, VSO and Wemos under the Make Way Consortium at the NGO CSW69 Forum for our interactive parallel event. 
 
Thirty years after the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, many women continue to face discrimination and marginalization. Through storytelling and a panel discussion, queer women and women with disabilities will share their knowledge and experiences. Together, we will delve into the colonialist frames that underpin their experiences and explore decolonizing narratives on queerness, disability and gender equality, as well as how we can effect transformative change.
