While at the CSW sessions on March 3, I spoke to the following government delegates about girls and access to quality education.

  1. Japan – Keiko Takegawa, Deputy Director General for Gender Equality, Cabinet Office. She was very open, interested and grateful to receive the page on the “Promises Made Must Now Be Kept”.
  2. Spain – three delegates who also expressed interest in this concern. (From other experiences, the government of Spain has often given support to education projects to further access and quality education in less developed countries.
  3. Burkina Faso – two delegates. As African women, they seemed to have a special commitment for girls and girls education.
