After staying up until 4 am negotiating last Friday, the member states have finally presented us with the CSW Agreed Conclusions. This document serves as the outcome on the theme of Financing for Gender Equality and has important implications for the review of the financing for development meetings later this year.

Check back later for analysis from Ecumenical Women. In the mean time, please provide your feedback on the recent experience at CSW by taking this very brief survey. Ecumenical Women look forward to your recommendations and input to improve our effectiveness at next year’s CSW! 

With much collaboration and input, Ecumenical Women have submitted a statement on financing for gender equality to the 52nd Commission on the Status of Women. Entitled “Justice for the poor and care for life and creation continue to be at the heart of the matter” the statement incorporates the six themes of the Monterrey Concensus on financing for development to financing for gender equality.

We welcome you to read it in preparation for the conference and to make your comments below.

54th Commission on the Status of Women

Over 8,500 men and women are registered to attend the UN’s 54th Commission on the Status of Women. This year the CSW will focus on reviewing the Beijing Beclaration and Platform for Action, which was adopted 15 years ago with the support of 40,000 women. To prepare our advocates, we organize an annual capacity-building training and orientation for our membership prior to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.
