Hace pocos días tuvo lugar el El Retiro Anual #UCLGMeets 🌼 2024

🙌Bajo el lema 'Actuando por el Futuro de la Humanidad: El Poder que nos Une' ✨@UCLG_org lideró un evento increíble clave para la agenda mundial de gobiernos locales 🏙️♻️❤️‍🩹

Sobre ese gran evento trata este hilo 🧵

✨️En UPF Barcelona presentando el movimiento feminista municipalista

💬 Emilia Saiz 'El cambio es replantear las prioridades: poner el cuidado en el centro de los servicios públicos locales es una transformación radical hacia el bienestar de cada una'

#Listen2cities

🟣 Wrapping up our #CSW68 Side Event, our Secretary General Emilia Saiz stresses the importance of Beijing's spirit at the heart of the social summit.

✨We need policies that address urban realities and uplift all groups.

#Listen2Cities

🟣 Fatima Razouki from CGLU Afrique underscores the need for thorough preparation in gender equality movements like CSW.

✨She proposes committee leadership by political leaders & gender experts to focus on themes such as climate change.

#Listen2Cities #CSW68 #REFELA

🟣 Mayor Annie Kalamtila of Lufwanyama 🇿🇲, a #REFELA member, highlights a harsh reality: In Zambia, just 15 women hold local authority positions across 110+ districts.

With policies favoring women, they aim to uplift each other. 🫂✨

#Listen2Cities #CSW68

🟣 Sri Sojan emphasizes accountability to women's constituencies. A gap exists between events promoting gender equality and tangible outcomes.

We must:

✔️strategize
✔️invest in resources
✔️amplify diverse voices, including grassroots and local gov.

#Listen2Cities #CSW68

🟣 Our #CSW68 side event draws attention to how the feminist perspective is crucial, highlighting the vital role of local governments in care.

🫂Care is at the heart of the #SDGs , and without cities and local governments, it can't be achieved.

#Listen2Cities

🟣 Fabiana Goyeneche from Mercociudades:

💬 'Emphasizing intersectionality amplifies feminism's rise. Purple washing pervades speeches, policies, and the multilateral system. To truly leave no one behind, we must prioritize intersectionality.' ✊🏾

#Listen2Cities #CSW68

🟣 Some key takeaways from Yolande Hendler at #CSW68 :

🔑 Prioritize care as a #HumanRight for gender equality
🔑 Advocate for a broader poverty understanding
🔑 Grassroots movements & feminist movements drive real change

#Listen2Cities

🟣 Ana Moreno Global Alliance for Care

💬 ' #CSW68 was a rare chance for in-person connections. However, outcomes lacked sufficient emphasis on care and feminist perspectives. Incorporating discussions on women's health is crucial for future meetings.'

#Listen2Cities

🟣 Carola Gunnarsson, UCLG Special Envoy

💬 'Empowered women empower women. More than 60% of the #SDGs can only be reached with strong commitment from #LRGs and the local level. There's a gap between speeches on gender equality & the lived realities of women.'

#Listen2Cities #CSW68
