Women Propose

Women Propose is an initiative fostered by different civil society organizations with the aim of promoting women's rights through the development of an agenda to influence the design of public policies and achieve Goal 5 of the Sustainable Development Agenda 2030. To this end, several meetings were held between 2017 and 2018, with the participation of representatives from more than 50 civil society organizations and over 500 women. In these events, technical tables were organized to discuss five main topics: justice, health, education and media, political participation, and women's economic independence. As a result, a document was produced containing specific recommendations for each of the topics discussed at the technical tables. The document was presented at an event with representatives of the United States Embassy in Venezuela.
