FHN members’ meeting at CSW68 (a photo essay)
A photo essay to celebrate our members’ meeting in New York during the 68th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68).
On Monday 18 March 2024, FHN member, Women’s Refugee Commission hosted us for a convening of network members who were in New York for CSW68. As well as existing FHN members, we were delighted to welcome a few prospective members too.
It was a fantastic opportunity for FHN members to meet and get to know each other better in person, most were meeting for the very first time. Individual member, Facia Harris facilitated a ice-breaking activity to emphasise our collective power, we discussed achievements of the FHN, spaces to prioritise leadership in 2024, our activities at CSW and split into groups to share the things we most value about being part of the FHN.
