Looking Back to 2023: UN Commission on Status of Women (CSW)

As an active member of Dutch NGO Network on CSW, the organisation remains actively engaged in providing input, reading the draft documents, attending language training sessions and working with the government to contribute to Annual CSW sittings at UN since past many years.

From the 6th to the 17th of March 2023, the 67th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW67) took place covering the priority theme “Innovation and technological change, and education in the digital age for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”. It also included reviewing the 2022 agreed conclusions on empowering rural women and girls.

The organisation worked alongside other Dutch organisations on Agreed Conclusions and joined side events as well. CSW67 led to a set of recommendations for securing an inclusive and suitable digital world for women and girls. The organisation shares the key insights from the various meetings and discussions that remember the necessary participation of CSOs and reaffirm the stakeholders' role in providing protection and education in the digital age.
