Report from SI UN Rep Linda Stillman:
As a UN SI representative, I was invited to attend the annual International Rotary UN Day on Saturday, November 6, 2010. Several of the issues discussed in-depth are connected to the work we do and worth sharing. Regarding education and leadership, the Rotarians support their younger generation of women and men in their subsidiary program called the Rotaracts. The focus is education and leadership to advance global/local community projects. I have been a speaker for the UN Rotaracts on Young Global Leadership this fall, and many young woman are members in leadership roles.
Another topic at the RI UN Day targeted educating girls and their theme: To educate a girl is to educate three generations: The girl, her mother and her future daughters. They are using this approach to tackle two key topics of ours: poverty and its feminization and sex trafficking, particularly in Southeast Asia.
