Date: 26-09-2023Time: 13.00 - 14.30 hrsLocation: online (link below) WO=MEN and Atria, in collaboration with Soroptimist International, are organising a series of knowledge sessions in preparation for the 68th United Nations (UN) Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). We started this in June, and are organising a second round with four follow-up knowledge sessions with new speakers and topics in September 2023.
The next CSW will not take place until March 2024. So why are we organising these preparatory sessions already? EU member states will start negotiating the EU position for the next CSW as early as October 2023. In recent years, this EU position proved increasingly important and leading for the commitment of the EU delegation during the CSW negotiations. It is therefore important for civil society in the Netherlands to start preparing our priorities and recommendations towards the Dutch (and EU) delegation in good time.
CSW68 KEY SESSION 8: Youth Friendly Funding & Recommendations
Tuesday, 26 September
