The Impact of Gender Inequality on Global Poverty and AIDS

The Westchester Coalition on Global Poverty and AIDS will present a talk with Letty Chiwara, Director of Global Programs at the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). She will speak on Monday, April 28th, at 7pm at the Thomas H. Slater Center – 2 Fisher Court, White Plains - NY.

She also leads an inter-agency team of the United Nations, World Bank, and European Union which ensures that the development aid that is given to developing countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America will benefit women equally.
