The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women is dedicated to promoting gender equality by identifying challenges and establishing standards for the social, economic, political, and civil rights of women. CSW-58 will address the theme: "Challenges and achievements in the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals for women and girls."
Selected delegates will have the opportunity to work with government officials, scientists, civil society representatives, and youth from around the world to review progress on issues related to gender equality and advancement of women. In the past, AoC delegates have presented case studies and policy statements on behalf of youth; participated in forums with fellow representatives of civil society; and met with government delegates, international organizations, and the US State Department.
Delegates should contribute something unique to our efforts to take part in the international policymaking process and increase youth participation in the global arena.
