Super strong statement by Ireland’s representatives, pledging support for civil society and women human rights defenders, as well as all women in conflict zones. She minces no words about Ireland’s own history of state repression and the work they still need to do, including on SRHR. #UNCSW69
Checking out the General Discussion at #UNCSW69. Denmark’s gender equality minister just gave a very strong statement and, as is their practice, shared his time with a youth representative. Wish all the member states did this!
