‘Commit, Accelerate, Invest: Women’s organisations expect action, not words!’

A message to all the United Nations’ member states, in light of the CSW59 on Beijing+20.

In March, in the context of the 59th session of the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW59), all the UN’s member states will adopt a political declaration commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action.

While we should be celebrating the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action, we know and see that women and girls still face inequality, violence, discrimination and insecurity in all spheres of life and society.
