Women's walk and talk marks UN Day celebrations in Cyprus

To mark United Nations day, the United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus facilitated a women's walk and talk this morning with representatives from both the Greek Cypriot and the Turkish Cypriot communities. 

Top United Nations official in Cyprus, Elizabeth Spehar, together with the Mission's Force Commander, Ingrid Gjerde and UNPOL Senior Police Advisor, Satu Koivu, and representatives from the international community also joined.

Around 50 women from all walks of life enjoyed a morning walk along the Pedeios river and had fruitful discussions on the women, peace and security agenda at Ledra Palace Hotel.

The women's walk and talk happen since 2015 and are organized by CVAR and the Turkish Cypriot University Women’s Association, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands and UNFICYP.
