The UCLG network is getting ready for CSW65 and preparing several important contributions on behalf of local governments and leaders. Read more in this news item on the relevant events and key messages!
Last year, the COVID-19 pandemic took over the local and international debate, particularly considering the need to take care of people, democracy and the planet for the future we want. In this context, the specific impact on all women, the relevance of gender-sensitive responses, and the role of women and feminist leaders to tackle and recover from this crisis have been important topics across UCLG’s agenda.
