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 global gender equality advocacy in general. Each month, the meeting addresses a different topic related to the CSW priority theme. CSW68’s priority theme is accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective. Each meeting considers the intersection of its topic with gender-based violence, youth perspectives, and LGBTQI+ issues as well.

The Monthly Meetings include updates from the NGO CSW/NY Co-Chairs, UN Women, and our Advocacy & Research Group (ARG). During the program, we hear from experts in the field about that month’s topic via roundtable discussions, panels, and other creative formats.

Monthly Meetings take place on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 11am - 1pm ET.To see the schedule of our Monthly Meetings and register for each, visit our event calendar. Scroll down to view our past Monthly Meetings.
