[Gcap-mujeres] FTF meeting - statements - Response from Beirut

[Ana Agostino]

Dear friends,
queridas amigas (español abajo),
Ntsiki, from the support team, sent our statements to the Lebanese Council
of Women, please find their response below. They are interested in working
with the FTF. Let´s think of concrete ways in which we can respond to this
interest.
Warm greetings,
Ana

Les reenvío la respuesta a nuestras declaraciones de parte del Consejo de
Mujeres del Líbano, quienes manifiestan interés en trabajar con el ETF.
Pensemos de qué manera poder trabajar en conjunto.
Aprovecho a decirles que las declaraciones que surgieron de la reunión
estratégica están siendo traducidas y en breve las tendrán en español.
Saludos a todas,
Ana
