This statement is a call to all States, international and national organizations, civil society and communities to uphold the rights of girls and women. It also calls on those bodies and communities to develop, strengthen, and support specific and concrete actions directed towards ending female genital mutilation. However, despite some successes, the overall rate of decline in the prevalence of female genital mutilation has been slow. It is therefore a global imperative to strengthen work for the elimination of this practice, which is essential for the achievement of many of the Millennium Development Goals.

This report presents a new analysis of the economic cost of failing to educate girls. Based on World Bank research and economic data and UNESCO education statistics, it estimates the economic cost to 65 low and middle income and transitional countries of failing to educate girls to the same standard as boys as a staggering US$92 billion each year. This is just less than the $103bn annual overseas development aid budget of the developed world.

European romani women’s movement
AWID presents an analysis of women’s movements and 10 Case Studies from different regions of the world that mobilized women to make a difference. This paper aims to highlight how one particular Romani women’s organization, the International Roma Women’s Network (IRWN), is promoting women’s rights, and to examine the connection between mainstream feminist movements and the Romani movement. IRWN is important because it is the first and only registered international umbrella organization representing Romani women of all Romani groups .from most countries of Europe. In addition, the Joint Roma Women’s Initiative (JRWI), a programme of the Open Society Institute, is also referred to several times and is introduced briefly at the end of the paper.
