It was great for #UNWomen representatives meeting SRSG Simao of UNOWAS where he shared his thoughts on effective engagement with RECs in Africa based on ECOWAS' experience, social transformation and women's political participation in a challenging environment.

It was a pleasure meeting Benin's new UN RC Aminatou Sar. We discussed the country's progress in Gender Equality and the government's request to see UN Women represented. This was a follow-up to a March 24 meeting in NY between Benin's VP Mariam Chabi Talata and Sima Bahous Sima Bahous
