NGO Committee On The Status Of Women (NGO CSW/NY)

NGO CSW/NY ensures that the voices and leadership of feminist and women’s rights organizations all over the world are included in UN deliberations such as the annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). We are untiring in our pursuit of gender equality and empowerment across the globe. Along with civil society around the world, we advocate for the governments of Member State to meet the commitments they make via declarations, resolutions, and treaties. We facilitate the largest gathering of civil society at the UN in support of women by hosting 10,000 women from around the world, coordinating and scheduling their 500+ parallel events. At the two-week NGO Forum, activists gather from around the world to discuss issues pertaining to women and girls, to network, share strategies/best practices and to lobby governments at the CSW.
