Engaging the Commission on the Status of Women

UN Commission on the Status of Women – this is the main global body where governments agree to work together on the promotion of gender equality and women’s rights. Women civil society organizations from UN member States utilize this site as a mechanism for bringing national issues to international attention, for holding their countries accountable to its global agreements, and for reporting on progresses and gaps in implementation of policy. We work with the Women’s Major Group (link), a coalition of women’s organisations that was formed to engage sustainable development processes.
