This book presents a clear and practical overview of how the International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) operates as a Non-Governmental Organization with consultative status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). With members in 74 countries, FIDA plays a vital role in advancing the rights of women and children by translating global policies into grassroots action. The book explores both the direct and indirect effects of FIDA’s ECOSOC accreditation on local communities. Written from the perspective of a former UN Representative of FIDA, it examines how the Federation can maximize its global platform by aligning its national chapters with UN resolutions and initiatives. The insights shared are drawn from the author's work at the UN, where she saw the power of international cooperation when rooted in local implementation. The book highlights FIDA’s long-standing commitment to legal advocacy and social justice worldwide.
