FAWCO's UN Reps collaborate with FAWCO’s Global Issues Teams, Target Program and Youth Program, focusing on raising awareness, sharing information, promoting action, and participating in global campaigns.
FAWCO's UN Reps are actively engaged in issue and policy advocacy at the global level, and FAWCO club members provide hands-on support in their local communities. Read the advocacy statements and position papers FAWCO has signed.
The UN's Agenda 2030 Global Goals, also known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs, provide an integrative framework connecting FAWCO's four priority issues: education, environment, health and human rights. The SDGs are a road map to the future of our planet.
