#HRC60 SideEvent: Family Law - A Catalyst for Women’s Economic Empowerment

The Global Campaign for Equality in Family Law is thrilled to announce our #HRC60 side event, which will spotlight the crucial link between family law reform and the advancement of economic rights for women worldwide. We will convene an exceptional lineup of speakers, including representatives from governments, the Women, Business and the Law and leading global, regional, and national advocates dedicated to #FamilyLawReform.

Join us as we explore how discriminatory family laws impact women's economic rights across the globe and discuss strategies to make family law reform a global, regional, and national priority. #FreeOurFamilyLaws
