Key CSW67 Zero Draft Recommendations

Sign on in support of our CSW67 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 our global, grassroots community 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.

Instructions will be communicated via e-mail to organizations that will be selected to make an intervention.

Sign-up for NGOs in consultative status with ECOSOC wishing to express interest in intervening from the floor during a dialogue or an interactive panel will be open from 27 January to 10 February 2023.

Event: Preventing and Addressing Intimidation & Reprisals for Cooperation with the UN in the context of CSW67

 

 

 

Given the growing number of participants at CSW, both online and in person, and the opportunities and challenges that technology offers to expand and enable participation and outreach, the objective of this session is to provide a platform to share and discuss protection and reporting measures that can enable a safe civic environment to promote the voices, agency and leadership of women, girls and gender-diverse human rights defenders.

Civil society organizations and advocates will learn about the UN mandate and existing mechanisms to prevent and address intimidation or reprisals for cooperation with the UN, with a focus on technology. UN Women and OHCHR will learn about measures by civil society and partners to prevent and address online and offline harassment when engaging with the UN in the context of CSW. Read the full concept note.

Date: Thursday, 9 February 2023
Time: 3 – 4:30 pm EST Find your timezone here.
