The first day of From Global Convention to a City for CEDAW in Cardiff brought together an extraordinary range of voices, united by a shared commitment: turning women’s rights into real, lived change.
From international CEDAW experts to leaders here in Wales, the day highlighted the power of collaboration across sectors and borders.
Participants included:
🌍 International representatives from the CEDAW community
🏛️ Welsh Government and Cardiff Council leadership
🎓 Academics, advocates, and grassroots organisations
Together, these contributions created a dynamic and thought-provoking programme, demonstrating what meaningful progress looks like in practice — collaboration, commitment, and action.
As Europe’s first City for CEDAW, Cardiff continues to lead the way in translating global frameworks into local impact. The discussions and insights shared today reinforced the importance of embedding women’s rights into policy, practice, and everyday life.
✨ This is just the beginning.
We look forward to continuing the conversation on Day 2.
