Global Women-Africa Network (GLOW) going to Tokyo - Japan

Africa is rising and so are her women. With two Heads of States (Liberia and Malawi) and, the first ever female Chairperson of the African Union, African women are poised to bring their energy, smarts and passion to solving the perennial problems undermining sustainable growth for millions. In this global context, this Global Town Hall serves as a catalyst for action. GLOW’s purpose is to provide a live platform that will encourage discussion on sustainable solutions to existing challenges and facilitate information sharing at the global level of successful action taken by women or in support of women in this regard. GLOW’s target is to get people from around the world to post 1 billion actions taken by 2015 to encourage sustainable peace and economic growth in Africa.
