Summary

From March 11-21 2024, government officials, international policy leaders, and civil society activists will convene in New York for the 68th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68). At the CSW68, Member States will make commitments to accelerate gender equality by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective. Activists and civil society organizations contribute to this process by bringing the demands and needs of women around the world to this international platform and by providing expertise about the most effective solutions to addressing women’s economic justice.

Women’s Learning Partnership, a partnership of autonomous women-led organizations from the Global South, have produced recommendations that provide insight and strategies to reduce poverty among women and girls and advance women’s economic rights. The recommendations align closely with many found in the CSW68 zero draft and provide support and context to enhance policymakers' deliberations at the CSW68.
