ADVOCACY FOR CSW67

NGO CSW/NY is committed to providing our community with advocacy resources and training to ensure that they are prepared to advocate for their organization or work at the UN, especially at the UN CSW. We also do our own advocacy each year for the UN CSW Zero Draft and outcome document through our Advocacy & Research Group.

NGO CSW/NY's Advocacy & Research Group (ARG) provides recommendations leading up to and during the CSW Outcome Document negotiations. The ARG researches the CSW priority theme and consults with our global community on their priorities for the theme to inform their recommendations for Member States to include in the UN CSW Zero Draft and ultimately the CSW Outcome Document.

Read our NGO CSW67 Advocacy Toolkit which aims to help NGOs, civil society representatives and feminists build their capacity to advocate for their organization, work, and global gender equality at the CSW. NGO CSW/NY recognizes that the United Nations system can be overwhelming and newcomers may not know where to start, so we’ve created this Advocacy Toolkit to use as a starting point.

As two essential gender equality mechanisms, connecting the CSW and GEF is necessary. It’s essential that CSW and NGO CSW Forum participants are aware of, enthusiastic about, and engaged in the GEF process as a significant gender equality movement. The connection between the two can create a powerful effort to move the needle.


UN CSW67 Outcomes

"This year’s Agreed Conclusions bring us a vision of a more equal world. As we leave here now, let us bring the might of our combined determination to translate them into reality for all women and girls."
Sima Bahous, UN Women Executive Director

The result of the UN CSW negotiations is an outcome document called "Agreed Conclusions," which outlines action by governments and other stakeholders, including the UN system, national human rights institutions, civil society, the private sector, trade unions, the media, and others.

The CSW67 Agreed Conclusions were adopted on Friday, 17 March after many hours of negotiations. Read the Agreed Conclusions here.
