Program Overview
In 2024, Dr. Robin Stern, UPEACE Global Ambassador, organized a meeting in New York City for women professionals to discuss, strategize, and support UPEACE New York’s mission.
The working group intends to hold quarterly meetings with guest speakers, UPEACE New York updates, and create a space to exchange ideas on how to continue strengthening the group’s work. UPEACE Women is also actively seeking partnerships with other organizations and groups such as UN Women and the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
