WEDO has been named as a 2006 Champion of the Earth by the United Nations
Environmental Programme (UNEP). The award recognizes prominent and
inspirational environmental leaders from each region of the world. WEDO is
cited as "a champion in the field of women's economic, social and gender
rights and a beacon for the empowerment of women across the environmental
and development debate."
"We are honored to receive this prestigious award and feel that it is not
only a recognition of WEDO's work, but the work of women around the world.
This award recognizes that gender equality and sustainable development are
inextricably linked," said June Zeitlin, Executive Director of WEDO. The
award ceremony will take place on April 21 in Singapore.

<http://www.wedo.org/files/MarchApril06-1.html> By June Zeitlin
WEDO and advocates expressed outrage and disappointment that gender equality
and strengthening the women's machineries within the UN system are not being
addressed in the UN Reform process. Their sentiments were expressed in an
Open <http://www.wedo.org/library.aspx?ResourceID=99> Letter to the
Secretary General and Member States endorsed by more than 300 women from
over 50 countries, and a well-covered press conference at the UN. Zeitlin
says advocates have had enough of the kind words and promises and are
determined that gender equality does not fall off the reform agenda.

px> At the UN's annual IWD panel discussion, it was anything but business as
usual; hundreds of advocates, gathered from around the world for the
Commission on the Status of Women, sang, held aloft 50/50 flyers and cheered
loudly when Secretary General Kofi Annan said it was time for a woman to
head the institution. The panel was dubbed "Women in Decision-making:
Meeting Challenges, Creating Change."

The Commission on the Status of Women ended late with member states once
again failing to adopt the kind of bold document that could accelerate the
implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. But in the Commission’s
review of how it does its work some of the new approaches adopted will check
protracted negotiations and keep the spotlight on implementation.

<http://www.wedo.org/files/MarchApril06-4.html>
<http://www.wedo.org/files/MarchApril06-4.html> On February 24-26, some 42
experienced and energetic women’s rights activist, local councilors,
parliamentarians and academics from all regions of the world gathered in New
York to assess the impact of the global 50/50 campaign. The five-year review
identified advocacy actions that work, assessed what difference a critical
number of women in decision making can make, and developed strategies for
taking the campaign forward.
