Program Priorities for 2010 - A Member's Guide to Action and Information

In this year, 2010, many disparate issues affect the well-being of women around the world.

WG-USA Identified Three Priority Issues
This year the Program committee of Women Graduates–USA identified three priority issues which, as a result of the committee’s thoughtful and committed consideration demanded attention as first and urgent priorities, chosen from many possible priorities. At year’s end an evaluation will occur, setting in place a plan for action in the year 2011, as well as the identification of emerging and additional urgent priorities.
>>Rationale and introduction

The three priority issues are

• Education for Women and Girls
• Ratifiying CEDAW
• Human Trafficking

A program guide for action on each of these priorities is available in 'Members' Meeting Place ".

An Individual Member’s  Program Guide

WG members will discover that the program materials have been written for an individual WG member who wants to “do something” about any or all of these priorities. To facilitate this goal the Program Committee  created a template for each priority. It is hoped that the individual member, reading through these templates, can say to herself, “Eureka! WG read my mind! Here are some concrete ideas about something I can do right where I live, right now. It’s here on the web!”
>>Education template
>>Ratifying CEDAW template
>>Human Trafficking template

More information about how you can take action on other priority issues as well as on each of the above-mentioned priorities is available in the left sidebar links under WHAT YOU CAN DO.
