LATEST NEWS FROM AWC BERLIN’S FAWCO REPRESENTATIVE:
June 2019: 4 Pillars of global issues in FAWCO follow the priorities of United Nations Women. They are: health, education, environment and human rights. AWC Berlin’s own Karen Castellon co-chairs the FAWCO Human Rights team, serving as a vehicle to share ideas among member clubs, educate and advocate on relevant issues, and increase involvement on campaigns such as 16 Days of Ending Violence Against Women, Nov. 25-Dec. 10; One Billion Rising-Feb. 14; International Women’s Day-March 8, World Refugee Day-June 20. What can you do? We would like to increase the AWC Berlin participation in FAWCO. If you are interested in chairing a campaign for AWC-Berlin, your ideas & teaming are welcome. If you would like to learn more about what women in the other 61 clubs are doing in any of these 4 areas, we can refer you to the team chairpersons. Your world will only become larger and richer as you meet amazing individuals who are just doing their part in the world.
