- CSW69: Advancing Women’s Rights and Political Participation
Our recent participation in the 69th Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) comes at a crucial time with the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. With the active participation of our Vicepresident and President of Chile, Michelle Bachelet, she emphasized our commitment to gender equality and women’s leadership in the Side Event: 30 Years of Women’s Political Participation, Towards Full Parity. The world has made progress towards women’s rights and political participation, however, CSW69 reminded us of the constant disparities, gender-based violence, and threats to sexual and reproductive rights that persist in many regions.
