Go behind the scenes at the Commission on the Status of Women, the United Nations’ largest annual gathering on gender equality.
For two weeks every year, thousands of activists, government officials, academics and policy makers gather in New York City to take stock of progress on gender equality and chart a new roadmap forward. The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is instrumental in promoting women’s rights, documenting the reality of women’s lives throughout the world and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.
