As the WMG, we created the series “SDGs & UN Human Rights mechanisms from a feminist perspective” to:
- highlight the interplay between Agenda 2030 and the human rights (HR) mechanisms of the United Nations, to support and enhance the implementation of the SDGs from a feminist and human rights based perspective
- increase the knowledge and capacity of our members to interact with UN HR mechanisms, and utilize the SDGs in their advocacy with these mechanisms
- And introduce other rights-based organizations that are working on the intersection of gender equality and UN HR mechanisms to our members who may also want to work on the interconnections of SDGs & human rights.
The webinars took place monthly from January 2021 to June 2021, featuring experts from UN human rights committees, international civil society organizations, and WMG member organizations working on the intersections of SDGs and that month’s human rights mechanism(s).
The infographics were developed based on the expertise and knowledge shared during our webinars. The infographics were written by Diyana Yahya and designed by Naadira Patel of SSWW. All the infographics are available in French, Spanish, and Basque. We welcome WMG members and allies to continue to translate them into further languages, just reach out to the secretariat!
