WGG Statement to Commissions
• Germaine Price and Anne Kelly prepared a statement on behalf
of the membership to the Commission on Social Development
• “Girls (0-18), in particular, comprising a seventh of the world’s population (United
States Census Bureau), suffer multiple disadvantages because of discrimination,
violence and exclusion, and as such have limited capacity to control or change
their lives. Yet a mounting body of evidence suggests that unlocking the potential
of this particular section of the global population is a powerful means of achieving
poverty eradication and social integration. …” E/CN.5/2013/NGO/3
• Yvonne Rafferty together with the Research and Writing Task
forces prepared the WGG Statement for CSW 57
• “girls are denied their political, economic, social and cultural rights and subjected
to behaviours that hinder their physical, psychological, spiritual, social and
emotional development. We highlight research on victims of violence in the forms
of harmful and traditional practices, and trafficking of girls for commercial sexual
exploitation. …” E/CN.6/2013/NGO/149
