After a year of restrictions, it seems fitting that the theme of the 65th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is one of expansion: “Women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls”. The annual session of the CSW, the United Nations body with the express purpose of promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, brings together advocates and activists, policymakers and researchers to advance its cause.
