The Canadian Federation of University Women holds an annual meeting where national issues are discussed which allows a member to have input. This results in many proactive initiatives. As an affiliate of Graduate Women International (GWI) we have a shared voice to speak to the world. In addition volunteer representatives from both CFUW and GWI provide consultation at the annual UNESCO Status of Women meetings in New York, and attend UN meetings held at other locations around the world.
