This event, co-hosted with Canada, will launch the Elsie Initiative Fund’s second programming round and formally announce the recipients of the first programming round.
The event will also include a panel discussion with Member States who received funding in the first programming round and two award-winning women peacekeepers military and police. Member States, who are either new contributors to the Fund or who have made additional contributions to the Fund following its launch on 28 March 2019, have also been invited.
The event aims to focus on the important and innovative work of the Elsie Initiative Fund, as well as the broader progress of the deployment of uniformed women in United Nations peace operations, and showcase Member States’ progress and good practices.

Conservatives in America demonize George Soros for
funding the Democratic Party and U.S.-imperialistic (or
“neo-conservative”) international organizations, but
he’s actually just a part of a network of around a
thousand or so global aristocrats or billionaires who do
this. Furthermore, within the individual U.S.-and-allied
nations, the billionaires who fund all of the domestic
political parties do the same thing in their own way; and,
in the United States, a different billionaire, the
conservative Charles Koch, is a mega-donor to Republican
politicians and is demonized by Democratic Party voters much
like Soros is demonized by America’s Republican Party

Monday’s federal budget included a massive expansion of race-based programming, including a new drive for race-focused data collection, funding earmarked for what Ottawa is calling “equity deserving groups” and even a plan to prioritize government procurement from “Black-owned businesses.”
It’s a ramping up of an initiative first begun in 2019, when the Government of Canada began rolling out antiracism training within its departments in a bid to combat a federal bureaucracy that they asserted was shot through with “systemic racism.” Ottawa’s focus on antiracism training became all the more acute after worldwide Black Lives Matter protests prompted by the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd in police custody, which was reflected in the more than $300 million put towards “equity” programs in the 2021 budget.

Worried by the endemic cases of rape and other gender-based violence afflicting children and women in the country, female change agents of Save the Children Internation (SCI), a non-governmental organisation, have vowed to end the scenario which they say robs children of the privilege to enjoy their rights and freedoms as enshrined in the nation’s constitution.
The female change agents, who made the pledge during a three-day refresher training held at Al-Bhustan Hotel, Katsina, said they would work with relevant stakeholders in their states to come up with workable strategies to eliminate violence against children and women in the country.
