NGO CSW/NY organizes the civil society side of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). The NGO CSW Forum runs parallel to the events occurring within the UN Headquarters. This provides civil society the opportunity to engage in the processes and events of CSW without ECOSOC-accreditation or a UN grounds pass.
Following the UN Secretary-General's recommendation on the coronavirus, NGO CSW/NY cancelled the NGO CSW64 Forum.
