NGO CSWs in the Regions

NGO CSWs in the regions offer an important resource for global, collaborative effort across regions. They work globally and regionally, unified, yet responsive to regional diversity.

NGO CSW Geneva and Vienna were founded shortly after NGO CSW/NY, in 1973 and 1982 respectively. In 2016, NGO CSW/LAC, NGO CSW/MENA, NGO CSW/A-P, and NGO CSW/Africa were established.

In May 2020, our Monthly Meeting gathered the NGO CSW leadership globally for the first time. Each NGO CSW in the regions discussed their work and the issues most pertinent to them. Watch the event on our Youtube channel. Watch the event on our Youtube channel.
