As a remote global network, COFEM has always sought virtual ways to connect with members and partners around the world, such as in our online Knowledge Summit series. The COFEM Webinar Series addresses women’s equality and inclusion, leadership, intersectional feminism, and violence against women and girls (VAWG) across all of our member geographies.
