About This Cause
FAWCO's Resolutions and Recommendations for 2025 - 2027 reinforce our commitment to improve the lives of women and girls worldwide, especially in the areas of education, the environment, health and human rights. Therefore, our UN, US and Global Issues Teams focus on these four issues. Education: Keeping UN Sustainable Development Goal #4 (Quality Education) in mind, the mission of the Education Team is to increase members' awareness of global issues in education by focusing on the topics of global citizenship, literacy, equal access, and bridging the gap between school and employment, especially as they relate to women and girls, while highlighting educational action being taken by Member Clubs. Environment: The Environment Team informs members about global environmental issues including air, soil and water pollution, species extinction, energy efficiency, conservation, waste reduction, and climate change. The Team's efforts support UN Sustainable Development Goal #13 (Climate Action). Health: The Health Team provides information on issues related to women's health and aging, and works to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal #3 (Good Health and Well-being). In 2014, the Team launched Clubs in Motion. Human Rights: The Human Rights Team keeps members aware of issues and new developments impacting women’s rights, contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal #5 (Gender Equality), and engages FAWCO member clubs in awareness and action campaigns. The Target Program brings a critical global issue to the attention of FAWCO Clubs, their members and the world. It is a three-year cycle of issue awareness and education, project selection, fundraising, project monitoring, review and evaluation. The Target Program demonstrates the power of working together toward a common goal and increases knowledge and awareness of global issues affecting women. The current Program's theme is "Our Natural Environment: Empowering Women and Girls to Ensure a Sustainable Future." The 2025-2028 Target Program will support human rights for women and children. FAWCO is a global women’s NGO (non-governmental organization), and since 1997, has held special consultative status with the UN Economic and Social Council.
