Advocacy & Research Group’s Zero Draft Recommendations
NGO CSW’s Advocacy & Research Group, in keeping with our mission to inclusively advocate for gender equality, has prepared five key recommendations for inclusion in the CSW67 Zero Draft on behalf of girls and women in all their diversity, including underrepresented, rural, grassroots/ community-roots and indigenous women and girls, widows, women on the move, women with disabilities, and LGBTQI+ people.
As a result of consulting with over 700 individuals of our global, grassroots community including members of the NGO Committees on the Status of Women in: New York, Africa, Asia Pacific, Geneva, Latin America and Caribbean, MENA and Vienna to understand their lived experiences, we have identified these critical concerns for “the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls in the context of innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age.” Women and girls should be included in the leadership and decision-making processes for the implementation of all five of these recommendations.
