Cities for CEDAW Champions Awards & Dance Party feat. Be’la Dona
**Space is limited. Arrive early to secure your spot.**
The feminist joy continues as we acknowledge efforts to leverage powerful global policy in local communities. The evening will kick off with an award ceremony sponsored by Women’s Intercultural Network to honor DC-area leaders advancing the adoption of the Convention is monitored by the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) on a local level. The awards ceremony will be followed by more great food, music, and a special concert by Be’la Dona. Washington, D.C., is the birthplace of this all-female band. They can play any music genre, from rock, R&B, gospel, pop, jazz, and, of course, their hometown music go-go. They have been featured via interview and pictorials in numerous print, internet, and published media such as Tom Tom Magazine, The Gazette, The Washington Post, and even books such as Total Eclipse of the Heart by Zane. Be’la Dona is more than a group, it’s a movement, and once you’ve experienced it you’ll understand how the Be’la Nation continues to grow.
