Welcome to participate in our webinar about the impact of COVID-19 on the rights of #women and #girls in #Ethiopia!!
This coming Thursday, the Embassy of Sweden is hosting a webinar about the impact of COVID-19 on the rights of #women and #girls in #Ethiopia. The webinar will feature some of the country’s most prominent women’s rights #activists as well as the #Minister for Women and Children of Ethiopia. ?
You are all more than welcome to attend the discussions (we will transmit live on 11 June at 10.00 EAT here on the Embassy’s Facebook page), but we would like to start the #conversation already today! ?
In what way do you think women and girls in Ethiopia are being impacted by #COVID19 and what can be done to mitigate that impact? Did you observe signs of domestic #abuse against girls and women in your neighborhood? ?
Tell us your stories and observations, and take the opportunity ask any questions you have to the minister and the panelists! ?
See you on Thursday!
