Revitalizing collectivism as civil society organizations

Movement building towards the revitalization of the CSW

Date: 20-11-2024
Time: 13.00-17:00
Location: tba

We find ourselves, as members of the broad Dutch civil society, navigating uncharted waters with the recent shift to a right-wing government. For many working on gender-related issues, this period has been marked by unexpected setbacks and new challenges. In light of the UN Women's call for revitalization in the lead-up to Beijing 30+, we view this moment as an opportunity for collective reflection and renewal, tapping into the ongoing revitalization process of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) spearheaded by UN Women.
 
The interactive session will be led by Joana Cavaco, known for her fierce advocacy and groundbreaking work in advancing gender equality, particularly through her leadership in mobilizing civil society efforts in global forums. Together, we will explore how to work more effectively toward systemic change, critically examining our relationship with the state as feminists and queer led organizations, while devising strategies for independent action in both the Development Cooperation sector and within the CSW process.
