CSW68 Kick Off Meeting

Language: Dutch & English (interpretation will be available Dutch/English)

 

We look forward to coming together with civil society and representatives of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sciences (OCW) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) in the Netherlands. Jointly, we will discuss the thematic priorities of the upcoming UN women's conference (CSW), the process and division of roles, and our joint recommendations to the delegation.

 

Whether you already have CSW experience or knowledge or not, you are most welcome to join this meeting, ask questions, and get connected and inspired.
