What is the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW)?

The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality and the empowerment of women. A functional commission of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), it was established by Council resolution 11(II) of 21 June 1946.

The CSW is instrumental in promoting women's rights, documenting the reality of women's lives throughout the world and shaping global standards on gender equality and the empowerment of women.

Please join us for an afternoon expert panel discussing what advertisers can do, and are doing, to more positive shape the perception of women and girls to advance gender equality! Details can be found here.
