SI Advocacy Advisor, Bev Bucur, brings us an insightful overview of this year's Commission on the Status of Women.
Our Voice at the United Nations
‘Our Voice at the UN’ is where Soroptimist International shares the vital work of its 26 SI Representatives to the United Nations (UN). Our Representatives are based at UN Centres across New York, Geneva, Vienna, Paris, Rome, Nairobi and Bangkok.
They ensure that the voices of all women and girls are heard in key global discussions. On this webpage, we provide regular updates and insights into their advocacy, contributions to UN events, participation in negotiations and collaboration with other civil society organisations.
Our Representatives engage in thematic areas such as gender equality, climate change, education, peace and security, human rights and the elimination of violence against all women and girls. Their updates highlight how Soroptimist International is shaping and responding to UN processes, making sure grassroots concerns are reflected in high-level policy-making.
Whether it’s attending CSW sessions, delivering oral statements, or hosting side events, our Representatives work tirelessly to advance the SI mission and support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Visit the ‘Our Voice at the UN’ page regularly to stay informed on how Soroptimist International influences global decision-making and holds institutions accountable to the needs of women and girls everywhere. Please read our latest updates below.
