Application form for Servas members to participate in the NGO-CSW68 Forum

For two weeks in March each year, the United Nations holds a major conference on women's rights and gender equality.  This is the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) conference. The CSW promotes women’s rights, documents the reality of women’s lives throughout the world, and shapes global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.  This year's conference (CSW68) is March 11 to 22.  Twenty Servas members have been selected to attend CSW68 in-person.

The NGO-CSW68 Forum takes place during those same dates (March 11 to 22, 2024). You are warmly invited to participate in the Forum virtually.   As your first step in participating online, please complete and submit the Application Form below.   We will then email more information to you.

The NGO-CSW68 Forum is organized by and for civil society and non-governmental organizations like Servas. The Forum helps educate and advocate on the gender equality issues that the UN member countries are discussing at that moment.  The Forum is huge and dynamic, typically with between 700 and 800 online, in-person, and hybrid “parallel events” (1- to-2-hour webinars and discussions) on a wide array of gender equality topics.  This year, many of the Forum’s parallel events will focus on the CSW68 priority theme of women and poverty, and on the review theme of social protection for women.  We are excited that Servas is organizing and will be offering three of the parallel events--on March 16, 18, and 19!

There is no registration fee to participate in the Forum.
