Akina Mama Wa Afrika at the African Union Summit
AMwA - one of our MDG3 partners – is actively involved in the AU Summit that is taking place in Kampala, Uganda for the first time in July.
The theme for this year’s AU Summit is “Maternal, Infant and Child Health and Development in Africa”. AMwA will work together with its partners, Solidarity for African Women’s Rights (SOAWR) and the Uganda Coalition for African Women’s Rights, particularly in calling on governments to popularize, ratify, domesticate and implement the Protocol on the Rights of Women in Africa (Maputo Protocol).
Some of the exciting activities that SOAWR and the Uganda Coalition have lined up in the lead up to the Summit are:
1. East African Caravan – 9th – 15th July 2010
2. Consultation meeting for Ugandan Rural Women – 20th July 2010
3. Regional Rural Women’s Conference – 21st – 22nd July 2010
