As part of the lead-up to the Regional Conference on Women in Latin America and the Caribbean, taking place in Mexico on 11 August 2025, within the Beijing+30 review coordinated by UN Women, WoPAI has submitted a formal letter to both UN Women and ECLAC (CEPAL). This action was taken after learning that the organizers of the regional feminist forum, held in parallel to the conference, had issued a registration policy that does not align with the principles of the CEDAW Convention.
Specifically, the forum’s registration form stated that participation would be limited to “inclusive feminists who respect the demands of the sex worker movement and transgender people,” and made clear that attendance could be denied to individuals or organisations not meeting these terms.
WoPAI’s full letter outlining our concerns can be found here in English and in Spanish.
