NGO CSW/NY’s Monthly Meetings are an essential part of our work to engage our global constituency in the UN CSW and NGO CSW Forum processes, as well as in global gender equality advocacy in general. Each month, the meeting addresses a different topic related to the CSW. CSW69/Beijing +30 is the time for the Commission on the Status of Women to examine the gains made of the Beijing Platform for Action, and the twelve critical areas identified as being essential to women’s empowerment and opportunities.
The program for each monthly NGO CSW/NY meeting this year (2024/2025) considers two of the critical areas for investigation. The December 2024 program which is hosted by a member organization will focus on the critical areas of media and human rights for women. The intersection of AI, online violence against women, and ethics with our focus areas is a perfect foundation for today’s program.
The panel, hosted by NGO CSW/NY member organization The Red Dot Foundation, and led by Olga Jurasz, professor of law and Director of the Centre for Protecting Women Online, will explore contemporary challenges posed to women, women’s rights, and their safety, especially those posed by the emergence of new technologies and AI. The panelists will explore this theme from a cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral angle, bringing critical and thought-provoking perspectives.
