[Ftffacilitationteam] Re: First Woman President of India to Receive Delegation from the WTP on Oct 17th

[ana]

Dear Pam,
dear Lysa,
thank you very much for all your efforts! It is very good that you have been 
able to secured that the president will receive a delegation from the 
Women's tribunal. It is important for the women and it will also give higher 
visibility to the activity. 
We will be highlighting this also while in New York and later when the 
tribunal takes place there, later in the year. 

Good luck on Wednesday! We look forward to hearing form you!
Ana
