EuroNGOs Conference “Gender and SRHR at the Heart of the MDGs”

By acknowledging that attaining the MDGs will not be possible without a much stronger focus on gender issues in general and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) in particular Marie Stopes International (MSI), the host of this year’s EuroNGOs conference, the EuroNGOs Secretariat and the EuroNGOs Steering Committee are warmly inviting you to our Annual Conference 2010, entitled “Gender and SRHR at the Heart of the MDGs”. The conference will take place 8-9 November 2010 in the Grosvenor Hotel, London/UK.

In cooperation with expert speakers, policymakers and participants both from the “Northern” and “Southern” hemisphere, and a broader community of development cooperation, women’s, human rights, and humanitarian organisations and experts, it will provide a space to find common grounds and joint ways forward. The conference will allow for the opening up to and bringing in a broader constituency of NGOs working towards poverty alleviation from a rights-based perspective. It will also foster support for the South-North partnership cooperation and promote EuroNGOs’ pilot project on this.
