A tale of two conferences: women against women as ‘poison of patriarchy’ returns and abortion fight intensifies - “…the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is taking place at the UN’s headquarters. This annual meeting aims to address the widespread inequalities, violence and discrimination women continue to face around the world. UN secretary general António Guterres opens the conference with a red alert: ‘The poison of patriarchy is back – and it is back with a vengeance: slamming the brakes on action; tearing up progress; and mutating into new and dangerous forms.’”
His warning that hard-won gains are being thrown into reverse follows a UN report revealing that one in four countries reported a backlash on gender equality in 2024. #patriarchy #choicel #WomensReproductiveRights #women #gender #WomensRights https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2025/mar/22/women-rights-un-anti-abortion-choice-poison-of-patriarchy-returns?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
