Dear members,
We hope this email finds you well.
We inform you that the 67th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will be held from the 6-17 of March in New York City, coordinated by UN Women.
Background
The sixty-seventh official session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67) will bring together representatives of member States, UN entities, and ECOSOC-accredited non-governmental organizations to discuss the priority theme of "Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls".
Modalities for participation at the UN CSW67 official session
The UN CSW67 official session will take place in-person with various sessions broadcasted on the UN Web TV. UN Women will open the opportunity for organizations in consultative status with ECOSOC to express interest to make interventions during the: 1) General Discussion and 2) interactive dialogues.
Please inform the UCLG World Secretariat at women@uclg.org before Wednesday 25 January if you would like to suggest nominations for participation or to collaborate in either of the above spaces.
Modalities for participation at the NGO CSW Forum
The NGO CSW Forum is a gathering that runs parallel to the CSW, and is the official civil society engagement platform with the CSW processes and sessions.
As part of the CSW NGO Forum, the local and regional government constituency, facilitated by UCLG, will hold an in-person side-event entitled: “Local and Regional Governments Empowering All Women through Rights-Based Technologies” on Thursday, March 9, 2023, at 10:30 AM EST at CCUN 11th Floor, NYC.
Please inform the UCLG World Secretariat by January 25th if you plan on attending, or would like to nominate a speaker for this CSW NGO Forum parallel event.
Logistics
Registration for the official UN CSW67 is open until 27 January. As such, ahead of this deadline, UCLG can register up to 20 delegates for the official UN CSW67 session. Please inform UCLG by 25 January. Note that those registering through a national delegation will have more access to official sessions.
There is no need for an ECOSOC-accredited registration if you only plan on attending the in-person UCLG Parallel event in the framework of the NGO CSW Forum.
For the CSW67, the Global Feminist Municipal Movement will have a clear call to action with a feminist municipal agenda with gender equity and human rights at the center.
We remain at your disposal to provide any further information you may need: women@uclg.org
Sincerely,
The UCLG World Secretariat
