From the 10 to 21 March, people from all over the world will gather in New York for the sixty-ninth session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69), which marks the thirtieth anniversary of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. While progress on rights has been made over the last 30 years, the rights of women and girls are under increasing attack. Now more than ever, we need to make sure that we build solidarities for gender justice.
Several IDS-led research programmes and projects, including Clean Energy for Development: A Call to Action (CEDCA), Sustaining Power (SuPWR) and Countering Backlash, will be hosting and taking part in the following CSW69 sessions in New York.
