Centre for Women's Global Leadership announces programs

Some of you may have heard about Charlotte Bunch - a woman who had fought for women's human rights for a very long time. Charlotte was key to establishing UN Women, and strengthening the voices of women from civil society and the NGO community. It was Charlotte who founded the Centre for Women's Global Leadership at Rutgers University.

The Centre for Women's Global Leadership (CWGL) always has an interesting series of programs during the meetings of the CSW - and this is what follows.
