The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is a critical annual moment for us to steer progress on the global rights of women and girls and in particular, the progress we are making towards SDG5, the goal that enshrines the drive for gender equality. It is a moment where we collaborate to sharpen and accelerate our focus and see what more all stakeholders can do to create a world that is more equal, more peaceful and more sustainable. The mandate of CSW is more acutely important than ever, as global risks and conflicts intensify threats to gender equality.
