| Tuesday next week is the first day of the High Level Political Forum! It is held annually at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. Every year it focuses on different themes and SDGs. The theme this year is “Empowering people and ensuring inclusiveness and equality” and we will be reviewing SDG 4, 8, 10, 13 & 16 – yes many of the social justice SDGs! So we thought it would be a great opportunity to amplify our #HerstoryOfChange.
You can join in by either sharing the stories & photos below, or by taking a selfie and add your own story. You can post them on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, just remember to add the three hashtags below.
When
You can post on Facebook and Instagram throughout HLPF (8-19 July), or join our Twitterstorm on Monday, 8 July at 11:00 EST (17:00 CEST).
