March 10 – 21: Commission on the Status of Women

The 69th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) will take place at the UN Headquarters in New York from March 10 to 21, 2025. The session, also known as CSW69/Beijing+30, will mark the 30th anniversary of the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women and the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The priority theme for the session is to review and evaluate the implementation of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, as well as the outcomes of the 23rd special session of the General Assembly.

This event is held in NYC and MOST of the workshops are hybrid – and FREE. All Zonta members and supporters are encouraged to sign up and participate in sessions focused on their areas of interest.

The Commission on the Status of Women is an annual opportunity to meet, enjoy fellowship, build bridges to other like-minded organizations, experience Zonta spirit, and become a more knowledgeable and engaged advocate for gender equality. Zonta International hosts annually at least one side event within the Commission on the Status of Women with the emphasis on Zonta’s strategic focus areas.
Zonta International’s delegation to the Commission on the Status of Women increases annually by 5% over the previous year.
