We have created two working groups that NGO CSW/NY members can join!

September’s topic – women, youth, peace and security (WYPS) – prompted an engaging and informative discussion amongst our global constituencies and brought forth informative presentations on the Our Common Agenda’s Policy Brief, New Agenda for Peace through a gender perspective, updates from the ongoing SDG Summit, CSW68 preparation advice for NGOs from UN Women, and the Cities for CEDAW History & Futures project.
