The purpose of the current call for applications is to identify young individuals who will be supported by ICN in attending the AWID International Forum, providing them with the opportunity to engage in exceptional interactions at this global gathering of NGOs feminist, women's rights, gender justice. Chosen delegates are expected to take part in and contribute to a range of capacity-building and dialogue sessions before, during, and after AWID. They will also be encouraged to actively participate in and help co-create collective communication and engagement initiatives.
