SUP/IFPTE Local 160 Members Jazim Evers and Alika Hendricks Attend Commission on the Status of Women

SUP/IFPTE Local 160 members Jazmin Evers and Alicka Hendricks at the UN in New York. 

Society of United Professionals (SUP/IFPTE Local 160) members, Jazmin Evers and Alika Hendricks, attended the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meetings at the United Nations in New York during their annual session at the United Nations in New York from March 9th to the 16th. Evers and Hendricks, who are leaders of the SUP’s legal professionals Local, attended the meetings as delegates with the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC) delegation. 

The CSW is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality, the rights and the empowerment of women, and this year’s meetings were focused on strengthening access to justice for all women and girls, including by promoting inclusive and equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies, and practices, and addressing structural barriers. 

IFPTE sends a hearty note of appreciation to Jazmin and Alika for proudly representing SUP and IFPTE at this year’s conference!
