Advocacy for NGO CSW68
NGO CSW/NY is committed to providing our community with advocacy resources and training to ensure that they are prepared to advocate for their organization or work at the UN CSW68. We also do our own advocacy each year for the UN CSW Zero Draft and outcome document through our Advocacy & Research Group.
CSW68 Priority Theme
Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective
CSW68 Review Theme
Social protection systems, access to public services and sustainable infrastructure for gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls (agreed conclusions of the sixty-third session)
UN Commission on the Status of Women Information
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is an official Commission of the United Nations which focuses on the rights and empowerment of women and global gender equality. It’s an intergovernmental body consisting of 45 Member State governments of the UN. As the Secretariat of the CSW, UN Women (an official UN agency), supports all aspects of the Commission’s work.
To attend the UN CSW68 inside the UN Headquarters, you must be one of the representatives of an ECOSOC-accredited organization.
The official CSW68 is a separate process from the NGO CSW68 Forum. NGO CSW/NY hosts the NGO CSW Forum as a civil society gathering parallel to the official UN CSW. The UN CSW is organized by UN Women.
For questions about official UN CSW68 processes such as registration via Indico, UN grounds passes, written and oral statements, and side events, please contact UN Women at csw@unwomen.org.
