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.
Promote your organization on the NGO CSW67 Virtual Portal!
Apply for a virtual Exhibit Booth and/or Handbook Ad to promote your organization or Parallel Event and engage with NGO CSW67 Forum attendees on our Virtual Portal.
Hosting a virtual Exhibit Booth or Handbook Ad is a great way to promote your organization, group, or campaign and/or your Parallel Event at the NGO CSW67 Forum. The format and features of Exhibit Booths and Handbook Ads are different from past years due to our new and improved Portal! Be sure to read all the details carefully before submitting your application.
The deadline to apply for both is Friday, 27 February.
