Participating in Official Opening Ceremony of the #CSW63

Terrific to meet Maya Morsy, Prez of the Nat’l Council of women of Egypt. We discussed the excellent collaboration with Canada in Egypt and 🇨🇦Ambassador Jess Dutton to advance the status of women.

Did you know that Pan African Women's Organization was started even before the African Union , So, women were driving an agenda from then. As a leader of this great organisation, and as a member of the liberation of South Africa, I participate here today knowing #genderequality is crucial #CSW63_SA

Louise Blais Maya Morsy Canada in Egypt Jess Dutton Canada Mission UN United Nations Egypt Thank you Canada for walking this important journey with us and co-leading our JFA/JPA partnership. Your presence today was a highlight of our event. We look foward to joining other women to move the global gender agenda foward in Vancouver this year.
