From commitments to accountability: What CSW70 revealed about the state of gender equality Search

From #backlash to legal reform, #CSW70 revealed where the global #GenderEquality agenda stands and what comes next.
Read our key takeaways: equalitynow.org/news/news-an...

Justice systems won’t change until those in power challenge inequality.

Men in power must move beyond words, using their privilege to dismantle patriarchal systems and ensure fairness, accountability, and protection for all.

When women labor leaders like Kgomotso join forums like #CSW70, they bridge the gap between workers & global decision-making bodies. With a union, they can have a seat at the table & use their voices to shape policies that impact their work, their families & their communities.

Gender Equality: A Global Priority or a Global Consensus? SAO PAULO, Brazil, March 23 (IPS) - The 70th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70) (March 9-19), held at the United Nations headquarters, brought together governments, decision makers, civil society, and international organizations to address a central issue: access to justice for women and girls.

Gender Equality: A Global Priority or a Global Consensus?

While nations adopted gender equality conclusions through a rare recorded vote, the real gap lies between legal commitments on paper and the persistent barriers women face accessing justice in practice.
