I will speak at the United Natrion’s 58th Commission on the Status of Women in
New York on March 12.
The Commission on the Status of Women
“CSW” is a functional commission of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC). It
is the principal global policy-making body dedicated exclusively to gender
equality and advancement of women. Every year, representatives of Member States
gather at United Nations Headquarters in New York to evaluate progress on
gender equality, identify challenges, set global standards and formulate
concrete policies to promote gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.This year’s theme is challenges and achievements in the
implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls: http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/
