If you think that being in the midst of its third wave, the gender equality movement cannot improve the lives of million of girls and women worldwide, think again. There is an awful lot of work to be done (and an awful lot of questionable statement are still published in mainstream newspapers about feminism's goals).
As part of our 50:50 enterprise, openDemocracy will be blogging the United Nations' Commission on the Status of Women, which starts today and ends on the 9th of March (a day after the International Women's day).
Two guest bloggers will document the experience, and tell you everything about the negociations, debates and resolutions (and will even describe the colour of the cafeteria's chairs, if we're lucky). Solana Larsen will describe the process armed with her press pass while Ayse, our "insider from the South", will focus on the internal processes.
So go visit the blog and leave your comments!
