Commission on the Status of Women

The Commission on the Status of Women is a conference dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. The Commission on the Status of Women is a major global intergovernmental body for the same purpose. This conference works exclusively for documenting the reality of women’s lives all over the world, promotes women’s rights, and shapes the global standards on gender equality and empowerment of women. During the two-week conference, representatives of the UN Member States, civil society organizations, and other UN entities will gather at the UN Headquarters in New York. They will discuss the arising issues that affect gender equality and the empowerment of women. The Commission on the Status of Women agrees on further actions that are required to promote women’s enjoyment of their rights in political, economic, and social fields. Afterward, the outcomes and recommendations of each session are forwarded to ECOSOC for follow-up.
