Day 2

Hello everybody!
Today was day 2 of CSW57 and it has been a very busy day.  I am VERY tired tonight as i only had four hours sleep so i will name some of today's highlights and will elaborate tomorrow as well as post some pictures.So far, the conference has been very exciting and inspiring!

HIGHLIGHTS:

-YWCA -What young women want.
This was a really informative workshop that featured young women from all around the world who discussed the things that they need for their countries to have gender equality and safety.
- For example, one woman from Pakistan who talked about how they need safe transportation to and from school..
- At the YWCA we learnt an African tradition called the love clap, which was used to show appreciation.

-Plan Canada's- A girl's right to learn without fear.
There was a panel of people discussing gender-based violence at school. Afterwards, they featured a film made by 10x10 called Girl Rising.

- I met a lovely woman named Lynn who is a professional photographer and let me use her GINORMOUS camera. That was really awesome.. maybe a glimpse into the future?
That's it for tonight.

Thank you for reading..
