MONROVIA, Liberia, 20 March 2009 More than 80 young delegates from around the world gathered in Liberia for the Emerging Leaders Forum earlier this month, in preparation for the International Colloquium for Women’s Empowerment, Leadership Development, International Peace and Security.
The colloquium was held in the Liberian capital on 7-8 March. The young leaders met at the pre-event to share and discuss their positions on issues that affect their lives.
“Each young delegate has the potential to become a strong leader, and they must seize every opportunity to play an influential role for their future,” said UNICEF Representative in Liberia Rozanne Chorlton. “It is a women’s colloquium, but men and women have to work hand in hand in on the way forward,” she added.
