What UN Women should do in the first 100 Days - your views please
The new UN agency for the advancement and empowerment of Women, UN Women, will be formally launched in January 2011. GEAR (Gender Equality Architecture Reform) was at the at the forefront of the campaign for the new agency and is now encouraging organisations and individuals to tell UN Women what they should be doing in their first 100 days. GEAR are asking civil society organisations to:
- Recommend early actions that could be taken during the first 100 days of UN Women to demonstrate its new direction
- Provide input or recommendations to shape what early successes in UN Women might look like
Engender will be submitting views and would like members input. Please send any comments to info@engender.org.uk by 9th December 2010

Did you see the tv advert for Marie Stopes pregnancy advice?
A commercial advertising the services of pregnancy advice organisation, Marie Stopes aired on British TV this week and will be shown until the end of June. See the ad here. What do you think of the ad itself and the calls from the anti-choice groups that it will 'normalise' abortion?
The Results are in!!
Thanks to all of you who completed our survey on our current policy priorities - we had a great response and are happy to report that you seem happy witht the areas we are working on. Here's the link to the high level survey results - if you would like to see the more detailed report with comments please contact the office.
Beijing+15 Draft Report - Comments welcome
We're sending a report to the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) which will review the progress of the Platform for Action for Women agreed in Beijing in 1995. Engender's report will focus on what has improved (or not) for women in Scotland. Read our draft report here
We would be happy to receive your comments on any of the main themes addressed by the report. (NB Do please keep your observations to brief statements or bullet points, and if you quote any authority please indicate the source of the comment or document.) We are conscious that there is a gap on the subject of Women's health, a subject which was mentioned at the December meeting. We would have liked to include a health section but we simply have not had the expertise or resources available to do justice to this important topic. However, we have addressed some related issues in the Girls section.
Please send your comments to Catriona at the Engender office by Wednesday 10 February. trina@engender.org.uk
