ADVOCACY
CFUW encourages its members to use their education and expertise to bring about change, with particular reference to women’s issues such as violence against women, early learning and child care, quality education, economic prosperity and the empowerment of women as leaders and decision-makers.
CFUW also works on a global level for the adoption and implementation of international agreements that will protect and benefit all women and girls. CFUW holds special consultative status with the United Nations (ECOSOC) and regularly sends a delegation to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
Over the years, CFUW has taken a stand on innumerable social issues based on our policies (i.e. adopted resolutions). See the Community Page for some current initiatives we support.
