WGG Statement to Commissions
• Germaine Price and Anne Kelly prepared a statement on behalf of the membership to the Commission on Social Development
• “Girls (0-18), in particular, comprising a seventh of the world’s population (United States Census Bureau), suffer multiple disadvantages because of discrimination, violence and exclusion, and as such have limited capacity to control or change their lives. Yet a mounting body of evidence suggests that unlocking the potential of this particular section of the global population is a powerful means of achieving poverty eradication and social integration. …” E/CN.5/2013/NGO/3
• Yvonne Rafferty together with the Research and Writing Task forces prepared the WGG Statement for CSW 57
• “girls are denied their political, economic, social and cultural rights and subjected to behaviours that hinder their physical, psychological, spiritual, social and emotional development. We highlight research on victims of violence in the forms of harmful and traditional practices, and trafficking of girls for commercial sexual exploitation. …” E/CN.6/2013/NGO/149
