COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN

The 65th Commission on the Status of Women, the UN’s largest annual gathering on gender equality and women’s empowerment, takes place 15 to 26 March, with a focus on examining the progress, gaps and setting a global roadmap towards achieving full equality in public life. This year’s CSW is an important bridge to the Generation Equality Forum and will be a pivotal opportunity to change our societies and cement women’s leadership as we recover from COVID-19.
