Where civil society enters the room at the United Nations.
NGO CSW/NY carries the voices and leadership of feminist and women's rights organizations from around the world into UN deliberations — including the annual Commission on the Status of Women.
Four standing items on our agenda.
Everything NGO CSW/NY runs traces back to one of these, year-round — not only during the Commission's spring session.
NGO CSW Forum
During the Commission's annual session, we organize informational events highlighting women's contributions to families, communities, and economic development.
Explore the Forum →Advocacy
Resources that help individuals and organizations engage in respectful dialogue and press for outcomes aligned with UN gender-equality initiatives.
See our advocacy →Monthly Meetings
Held virtually on Zoom and open to all, each meeting takes on a topic tied to the CSW priority theme to keep our community engaged year-round.
See upcoming dates →Youth Leadership
Our Youth Leaders & Young Professionals initiative connects young people committed to building leadership skills and impact in their communities.
