Working Group on Girls

3 October 2008

After many years of serving as your sole representative to UNICEF, I am passing the torch to Eleanor Schlesinger. who did such an excellent job of filling in for me during my lengthy surgery absence.  (I shall spare you the details of the knee replacement and consequent cardiac issues!)  However, I am not finished yet!  Those of you who have heard me speak know that I have thoroughly enjoyed my UNICEF responsibility and I look forward to my new position as your Alternate Representative to UNICEF.

The Working Group on Girls is concentrating its major efforts on making preparations for the 2007 annual meeting of the Commission on the Status of Women, hereafter referred to as CSW-51, to be held at the UN from 26 February to 9 March 2007. The theme of SW-51 will be "The Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination and Violence Against the Girl Child" - two of the problems on which the WGG members work diligently to combat.
