NGO CSW66 Forum Report (2022)
We wrapped up our second fully virtual NGO CSW Forum on 25 March exhausted and excited for all the opportunities we created for the global feminist movement. Our challenges became opportunities. Despite some minor glitches and the UN's last-minute decision to open its doors to civil society, we helped gather thousands of advocates and hosted hundreds of events successfully.

NGO CSW67 Advocacy Toolkit
Read our NGO CSW67 Advocacy Toolkit which aims to help NGOs, civil society representatives and feminists build their capacity to advocate for their organization, work, and global gender equality at the CSW.
NGO CSW/NY recognizes that the United Nations system can be overwhelming and newcomers may not know where to start, so we’ve created this Advocacy Toolkit to use as a starting point.

Women’s Human Rights Teaching, Learning, and Advocacy Resource
In 2020, a group of volunteers from civil society and higher education came together to prepare a curriculum to support women’s human rights that is grounded in globally recognized agreements. This collection of teaching guides and educational resources is adaptable across contexts to help educators, community organizers, and self-motivated learners gain insight into the challenges and the solutions for women.
