The 59 session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is less than a month away! WPP is gearing up for the CSW, which will this year focus on the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, including current challenges that affect its implementation and the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of women. The CSW will take place at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 9 to 20 March 2015.
As every year, WPP will be actively present at the CSW59, by making linkages with the Women, Peace & Security agenda. This year we will be advocating for the implementation of the broad Beijing agenda, also in the peace and security field, addressing issues such as demilitarization and disarmament.This has already been our message in the preparatory meetings and documents for the CSW59 on national and international levels. At the CSW59 itself, WPP will participate in three different panel discussions. You are all welcome to attend these panel discussions and participate in the lively audience discussions! See the overview below for the dates, times and themes of the panel discussions. We hope to see you in New York!
