There are
confirmed the dates of the African Gender Forum and Award as
on 7-8 June 2007, Dakar, Senegal.
Building
on the positive feedback of the first Edition on May 2005, which
was a concertation with Arab women in partnership with the Arab
Women’s International Forum, the African Gender Forum
will this year feature a dialogue with the African Diaspora
on gender and migration, economic, social, and political issues.
The first
edition of the African Gender Award was awarded to President
Wade of Senegal and President Mbeki of South Africa in celebration
of their work towards gender equality and gender mainstreaming
in the African Union (AU). The African Gender Award 2007, presented
during a Gala Dinner, where invitees, singers, and the best
of Africa, will celebrate the exceptional achievements of President
Paul Kagamé who integrates women into Rwanda’s
policy making institutions, demonstrated by a series of political
and legislative reforms, which has made Rwanda an exemplary
country, not only for the African Continent, but for the entire
world.
The program
as well as logistic details will be available soon.
