The original International Federation of University Women (IFUW), founding mothers AND advcocates Dean Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard College (USA), Rose Sidgwick of the University of Birmingham (England), and Professor Caroline Spurgeon of the University of London.

Century-long advocacy and friendship Our founding mothers were so forward-thinking that a century ago they wove a dense web of contacts and friendships to make sure the newly formed International Federation of University Women, IFUW, was a pioneer of international strategy for the education and advancement of women in society. The IFUW encouraged academic women to set up national organisations, today GWI NFAs, and to join a first-of-its-kind international network, a network of women advocates.

Advocacy, a definition A good general definition could be that advocacy is the deliberate process of communicating and raising awareness at all levels of society and decision-making with the goal to promote actions and change and influence relevant audiences over a time.

Who are GWI advocates? A GWI advocate is ANYONE who raises awareness about women’s’ and girls’ issues and who helps to change public opinion and influence policy to improve their lives, especially through education and lifelong learning.

The GWI advocacy strategy today is based on our modern… Vision that is for 100% of girls and women in the world to achieve education beyond primary school. Mission that is to advocate for women’s rights, equality and empowerment through access to quality secondary, tertiary and continuing education and training up to the highest levels.

Four GWI Advocacy Themes Safe access to quality and lifelong education for girls and women at all levels. Empowerment of women for leadership and decision-making roles. Advancement of the status of women and girls through a united, global presence. Gender parity and gender equality in secondary education.

Communication and Awareness-Raising Toolkits

Awareness-Raising Advocacy Toolkits Address Global Issues • GWI toolkits provided a set of practical tools to help NFAs in the development and management of their advocacy work. • GWI toolkits provide guidance, offer prepared social media, advocacy ideas and issue-related background. • The purpose of the toolkit is to support GWI’s members to implement advocacy campaigns to influence policy makers, education providers, the private sector and civil society partners to increase access of girls and women to traditional and non-traditional education. • Many GWI toolkits are featured on the Women’s UN Report Network (WUNRN)

Toolkit example: International Day of the Girl

Toolkit example: 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence and Menstrual Hygiene Day

Graduate Women International (GWI) Raising Women’s Voices: GWI Advocacy 101 & the United Nations October 22 2020 GWI Advocacy at UN Headquarters/NY By Maureen Byrne, Ph. D. Maryella Hannum, M. S. Sophie Turner Zaretsky, M. D

Presentation Today • Provide examples of how our advocacy work is approached • Transition in our approach (as well as in the issues) due to COVID-19 • UN Advocacy has moved to a virtual platform which has advantages & challenges – More access worldwide to attend meetings, not just for those locally with easier access to UN Headquarters – Progress made in many areas of Sustainable Development (SD) has been impeded and reversed by the pandemic – Void of in-person one meeting

UN Representative/NY Overview • Working for the adoption and implementation of international agreements that will protect and benefit all girls and women • Particular focus on Education as a critical cross-cutting issue in SD • Advocate (UN Member States, UN Agencies, & Civil Society Organizations) to eliminate barriers that girls and women face to gain an education and life long training

UN Representative/NY Overview • Follow UN Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), UN Women, Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), NGO Committee on the Status of Women (NGO CSW), Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) • Also, engage with and actively follow the work of UNICEF, UNESCO, and Agenda 2030 SD, UN SDGs, & HLPF

Role of UN Representative/NY • Represent GWI by serving on a variety of UN Committees & attending UN Meetings – NGO CSW; NGO Committee for UNICEF; Major Groups & Other Stakeholders • Present GWI Oral Statements at CSW and other UN High Level Meetings • Inform/and update GWI membership with Advocacy Reports • Work together collaboratively as a team

Advocacy 101 UN Representatives/NY • Examples of our advocacy work: – Approach in covering 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN SDGs & HLPF) – Maryella Hannum – Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) & (CSW 65); & NGO Committee on the Status of Women (NGO CSW) - Sophie Zaretsky – Zero Draft Doc; Feminist and Women’s Movement Action Plan (fw. MAP); Impact of COVID-19 on Education – Maureen Byrne

2030 Agenda, UN SDGs & the HLPF • UN SDGs (Global Goals) comprehensive collection of 17 interlinked goals, with specific targets & indicators (to measure progress), designed as a blueprint to achieve better and more sustainable future for all • SDGs set in 2015 intended to be achieved by 2030 • SDGs are part of a UN Resolution called “ 2030 Agenda”

SDG 4: Quality Education • Ensure Inclusive & Equitable Quality Education and Promote Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All • 7 Specific Targets • Cross-cutting Impacts • Major progress but still long way to go • Impact of COVID-19 is major setback & reversal in progress

Importance of Achieving SDG 4 • Education as a cross-cutting issue helps to achieve many others goals of SD including – Eradicate Poverty – Achieve Gender Equality – Ensure Health & Wellbeing – Reduce Inequality Among Countries – Decent Work for All – Promote Peaceful Inclusive Societies

2030 Agenda – Major Groups & Other Stakeholders (MGo. S) • Recognized that achieving sustainable development requires active participation of all sectors of society and all types of people • Majors Groups (sectors) identified as the main channels through which broad participation would be facilitated in UN activities related to SD – Women – Children and Youth – Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) – Education and Academic Stakeholder Group

2030 Agenda – Major Groups & Other Stakeholders (MGo. S) • The 2030 Agenda underlines the important role of MGo. S in its implementation. • MGo. S provides a high level of active NGO engagement with intergovernmental processes as well as a platform for NGO voices in implementing policies around SD: – Development of Position Papers – Common Messaging – Meeting/s with High Level Officials on SD – NGO intervention/s in official meetings – Organizing side events and round tables in cooperation with Member States and the Secretariat – Networks and Partnerships with Civil Society Organizations & NGOs

High Level Political Forum (HLPF) • HLPF central role in follow-up, review and implementation of 2030 Agenda/Achieving SDGS • Meets annually at UN/NY for eight days. • Example: HLPF 2019 (July 9 -18) Theme: “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality” • HLPF 2019 review of SDG 4 (quality education), SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth), SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), SDG 13 (climate action) and SDG 16 (peace, justice and strong institutions) in addition to SDG 17 (implementation and partnerships)

Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) • Principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. A functional commission of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), it was established by ECOSOC resolution 11(II) of 21 June 1946 • Instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world, and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women • UN Women is the UN organization dedicated to gender equality, and the empowerment of women, and supports all aspects of the Commission’s work • UN Women facilitates the participation of civil society representatives during CSW

CSW 65 • The sixty-fifth session of the CSW will take place at UN Headquarters in March 2021 • CSW 65 is shifting from a two-week in-person conference to a virtual event for shorter duration • Priority theme: Women's full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls • Review theme: Women's empowerment and the link to sustainable development (Agreed conclusions of the sixtieth session)

NGO CSW Forum & Parallel Events • NGO CSW is a coalition of NGOs that advocate for the human rights of women and girls at the UN • NGO CSW/NY historically organized a Forum that included Consultation Day, Reception, and more than 450 separate Parallel Events • NGO CSW Forum for the coming year will be virtual and shorter duration • GWI UN Reps serve on various committees related to CSW and NGO CSW Forum that involves yearlong planning commitments

Zero Draft Committee • • • The Zero Draft Committee started in 2016 to address the exclusion of Civil Society from the negotiations on the CSW Agreed conclusions document, or the outcome document that is agreed upon each year at the conclusion of CSW The Committee’s purpose is to develop our own document reflecting the views of Civil Society related to the current year’s priority theme As GWI UN Rep, I worked on Education as related to girls and women living in rural areas, social protections, access to public services, and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality Once completed, our documents were forwarded, prior to the start of negotiations, to UN Women, CSW Bureau, and 45 Member States participating in CSW It was gratifying to see our information incorporated into the Agreed conclusions, influencing policy decisions and implementation

Feminist and Women’s Movement Action Plan (fw. MAP) The Beijing Platform for Action (BPf. A) was adopted in 1995 by 189 countries at the 4 th World Conference of Women. It declared for the first time that Education is a human right. * Six Educational Objectives in BPf. A: * equal access * eradicate illiteracy * access to vocational & skills training/technology * non-discriminatory education & training * allocate resources & monitor implementation * life-long learning • Progress: Increased numbers of girls in tertiary education; 90% of girls aged 15 -24 are now literate compared to 80% in 1995; improved family income with increased schooling • Challenges: Aid to education has flatlined since 2010; large disparities between countries and regions; lack of mastery; unsafe school environments; inability to pay fees; lack of broadband • Future Research: What constrains girls’ participation? How best to address legal, political, and social obstacles?

Impact of COVID-19 on Education • In the face of a world-wide and a looming education crisis that threatens to reverse decades of progress, we realized it could not be business as usual. We collaborated on a paper addressing the following challenges: – Digital Access – Need for connectivity (346 million aged 15 -24 not online), opportunity, and literacy – Financing – COVID-19 has placed severe strains on local, state, and national budgets threatening education funding, the achievement of the SDG goals, and the progress already made – Attendance – Millions of students are out of school; risk of forced early marriages, loss of girls to the work force or unpaid work – Data – Need to show consequences of school closings; identify who is learning and who is not; determine what has changed in education delivery; monitor equity – Innovation and Collaboration – What will education look like post. COVID? How do we incorporate low- as well as high-tech learning approaches into the curriculum? How do we ’build back better’?

Review TODAY • Provided a few examples of how our Advocacy work is approached • Transition in our approach (and in the issues) due to COVID-19 • UN Advocacy has moved to a virtual platform • Progress in many areas of SD has been impeded by the pandemic
