“The 61^st session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW61) took place at the United Nations Headquarters in New  York, from 13 – 24  March 2017, at a critical juncture in the  changing  political landscape and realignment of forces mobilized around the gender equality and women’s empowerment agenda (GEWE).  Champions of GEWE, human rights and the women’s  movement saw this CSW as a litmus test of the strength of international political commitment in the face of fresh challenges to the historic and hard won normative gains of the gender equality  compact secured especially between 2012  -2016″.

Soroptimist International is happy to share with you the analysis of the CSW61 session and Agreed Conclusions by Lakshmi Puri, UN Assistant Secretary-General and Deputy Executive Director of UN Women.
