NGO CSW Forum

The NGO Committee on the Status of Women, NY (NGO/CSW/NY) organizes an NGO CSW Forum that includes an NGO CSW Forum Consultation Day and NGO CSW Forum Parallel Events during the annual UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meeting in New York. These events are now open for registration. NGO CSW Forum Consultation Day will be held on Sunday, 26 February from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm in preparation for CSW 56. NGO CSW Forum Parallel Events will be held from 27 February to 9 March.

The NGO CSW Forum is an open process, a democratic space where boys and girls, men and women can advocate for gender equality, development and peace. These events are convened by the NGO/CSW/NY in cooperation with our sister organizations in Geneva and Vienna under the umbrella of the Conference of NGOs (CoNGO). We are a volunteer-based organization, funded largely by donations and contributions by members and participants.

Please note that the NGO/CSW/NY prints a handbook each year containing key CSW documents and events, as well as greetings and advertisements from NGOs. You can sponsor the handbook by purchasing an ad. The deadline to purchase an ad is 9 January 2012.

We regret that no refunds are possible.

Your contribution will help other women have fruitful experiences at the NGO CSW Forum. Thank you.
