68TH COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN
The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global policy-making body dedicated exclusively to gender equality and the advancement of women. Every year, representatives of UN Member States gather at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. WAGGGS Advocacy Champions will be representing the voices of 8 million girls and young women at CSW68 in March 2024.
A huge thank you to the individuals who are part of the Olave Baden-Powell Society. This year they generously gave to ensure young women from the Movement can represent WAGGGS at the 68th CSW 2024.
