Each year, GSUSA joins over 5,000 women and girls from around the
world at the United Nations headquarters in New York to participate in
the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). CSW is a functional
commission of the UN, dedicated exclusively to gender equality and
advancement of women. Every year, national representatives of Member
States gather for a two-week session to evaluate progress on gender
equality, identify challenges, set global standards and formulate
concrete policies to promote gender equality and the advancement of
women worldwide. As NGO Consultative members, Girl Scouts of the USA
and the World Association of Girl Guides/Girl Scouts participate to
bring the voice of girls and young women to the global stage. This
years priority CSW theme is ensuring and strengthening access to
justice for all women and girls, including by promoting inclusive and
equitable legal systems, eliminating discriminatory laws, policies,
and practices, and addressing structural barriers.
