Promoting Women's Rights at the United Nations: NGOs in Gender Advocacy

4 Credits

This course provides a structured practical experience to learn about the dynamics of NGO/UN relationships in women's rights advocacy and introduces students to the major challenges facing women globally. We read recent research shared at the UN about gender-based violence, gender disparities in healthcare, women in leadership, and other topics outlined by the Declaration. Students engage with the Commission on the Status of Women, attending sessions, interviewing participants, and observing NGO/UN interaction in action. Attribute/Distribution: CC, SS, SW
