Welcome to our csw69 page!

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) "is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women."  Established in 1946 by the U.N. Economic and Social Council, CSW takes places annually in March at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. More than 10,000 delegates from around the globe gather at the U.N. to discuss the most pressing issues faced by women and girls globally and to assess the world's progress in achieving gender equality. 

While official side events are hosted inside the U.N. by Member States (countries) and U.N. agencies, the NGO/CSW provides a platform for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to host events in parallel - known as "Parallel Events". 

Bell Global Justice Institute is proud to have hosted our sixth Parallel Event in 2025, including past years in 2019, 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

This year, the United Nations and the global community commemorated the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action

CSW68 took place from March 11-22, 2024, at the United Nations Headquarters in New York.
