Wonderful to see you all!

Panel I Debate time!
Ms. Dion: I believe that SFPAs are solid instruments, but it wasn´t until 2018 when we received a financial support to help women in our communities. And it works. We need to keep working to strenghten the participative side of the agreements. #ExternalCFP
