Women Intercultural Network & US Women Connect “Winning Strategies for Gender Equality” 
As an opening panel for the UN NGO CSW, this session was an opportunity to make connections for the coming week and share scheduled events. The panelists addressed their strategies for moving gender equality and human rights forward locally and globally – what works and what are the possibilities for the next ‘innovation’ decade. The panel this year included Elahe Amani, Co-Chair, WIN, Welcoming; Jean Shinoda Bolen, The Millionth Circle; Olivia Calderon, New America Foundation; Gloria Feldt, Women’s Media Center; Clare Winterton, International Museum of Women; Tae Yoo, Cisco Sytems; Hon.
