Now, what is CSW67 then…?
CSW67 stands for The UN Commission on the Status of Women and forms the largest gender equality conference in the world, dedicated to shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.
CSW was stablished in 1946, and has since been promoting women’s rights and documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world.
Representatives of Member States, UN entities, and ECOSOC-accredited non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from all regions of the world are invited to contribute to the sessions.
