COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN

Thousands of women from around the world, many dressed in traditional attire, converged on the United Nations in New York City from March 10 – March 21,2025, to participate in a dialogue on the global status of women. Parallel to meetings of Member States, NGO/CSW held gatherings with civil society and Member States to share women’s experiences, gender rights movements, goals and local concerns affecting women everywhere. As part of CSW, WomanSG organized an event at the Church Center on First Avenue across from the UN in order to present our campaign to elect a woman UN Secretary-General. After 80years, it’s time. Moderated by Jean Krasno, chair of WomanSG, a good turnout of 40 to 50 people attended to listen to presentations by the panel and ask pithy questions. We are including here a few of those presentations. We hope you find them inspirational.
