A Wales-based diversity and inclusion leader is attending the 61st session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, where global leaders are discussing major human rights challenges.
Bernie Davies, founder of Mastering Diversity, is participating as Patron and NGO Main Representative of TechCeFaCos Group— an organisation in consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC 2013).
The session is addressing a number of critical issues, including the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan, ongoing conflicts in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and rising tensions in the Middle East.
Speaking from Geneva, Ms Davies said:“These global platforms are important not just for discussion, but for ensuring that voices from different communities are part of shaping solutions.”
“Mastering Diversity, based in Wales, works to promote diversity, equity and inclusion across business, public services and international platforms.”
The Human Rights Council session is expected to continue over several weeks, with further discussions on global human rights priorities.
