What is the Non-Governmental Organization Commission on the Status of Women Forum?
The NGO CSW is an organization that brings together global civil society groups to participate in the annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW) and advocate for gender equality. It is a coalition comprising of NGOs, civil society organizations, and individuals dedicated to advancing the rights and empowerment of women and girls.
How does NGO CSW68 differ from UN CSW68?
While NGO CSW runs parallel to UN CSW, it is a separate process with separate organizers. All events that are organized by NGOs are coordinated by the NGO Committee on the Status of Women
