UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)

March 15-26

The 65th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will take place virtually from March 15–26. There will also be a virtual NGO CSW Forum, organized by and for the NGO CSW community around the world. Over 50 FAWCO members have signed up for the first-ever virtual CSW! The priority theme of CSW65 is: Women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.

Sign-up for official UN CSW events is closed, but it is still possible to sign up for the virtual NGO side events. https://ngocsw65forum.us2.pathable.com These are sponsored by NGOs, not by UN Member States, and cover a staggering range of issues.

Since AAWE members are automatically part of FAWCO, you can put FAWCO as your organizational affiliation.
