Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) Rallies for Beijing 15
In March 2010, during the 54th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), government representatives, UN officials and leading NGOs will gather in New York City to recommit themselves to the Beijing Platform for Action that was adopted in 1995. The Beijing platform called for major advances in women's human rights, sexual and reproductive health, and gender equality. Delegates are expected to emphasize the critical importance of reducing unintended pregnancies, maternal deaths, and the spread of HIV/AIDS.
