At the 57th Commission on the Status of Women Let's empower women

We just had our major battle with Congress and as a result, we were able to help push legislation to end violence against women says Rhonda Nelson, from the International Chair of the UFCW Women's network. Sarah Meyer, from the RWDSU-UFCW: "Today we're here to stand strong with our sisters from throughout the world". Stephanie Basilel, from the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU): "We know that economic issues are intimately linked with gender based violence and if we're really going to end violence against women, we need to have public services, educational opportunities, and economic empowerment for women" (UniGlobalUnion)
