As a champion of women’s suffrage and a key player active in international affairs, the League is pleased today to celebrate International Women's Day (IWD), an annual occasion that honors the economic, political and social achievements of women past, present and future.
The League joined over 100 organizations in sending a letter to the U.S. Senate urging ratification of the convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).
The Conference will gather leading women leaders from Serbia, the United States and South East Europe from academia, politics, business, science, and civil society. The goal of the conference is to create an effective network of women leaders. The Conference is being organized by the Serbian-American Women's Leadership Network with the support of the President of the National Parliament of Serbia, Ms. Slavica Djukic Dejanovic.

Dear Senators Reid, Durbin and Schumer:
Failure to act on the New START treaty this year would undermine the country’s national security interests, as both our military leadership and numerous former Republican officials have noted.
