Executive Committee, 2007-2009
The NGO Committee on the Status of Women today comprises almost 200 national regional, and international NGOs as well as individuals that promote the status of women internationally by working at local, national and international levels on the issues being addressed by the United Nations. The mandate is to foster dialogue among NGOs about current issues being debated at the United Nations, building international consensus to promote sound government policies for women globally, through advocacy and partnership with governments. For that reason, the NGO Committee on the Status of Women does not promote the specific positions of any one organization.
