NGO CSW Forum Parallel Events

The NGO CSW/NY would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the numerous event organizers and attendees for making this year’s NGO CSW Forum a success. The NGO CSW Forum Parallel Events provided women’s rights advocates the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and share experiences around this year’s priority theme, “Elimination and Prevention of All Forms of Violence Against Women and Girls”  and the review theme of “The equal sharing of responsibilities between women and men, including care giving in the context of HIV/AIDS,” as well as other topics of interest.
