The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender
equality and the empowerment of women. Convened annually by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the CSW provides a critical platform for assessing progress,
sharing experiences, and formulating policy recommendations that advance the rights of women and girls globally. This year’s CSW69 marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing
Declaration and Platform for Action (Beijing+30) — a historic commitment adopted at the Fourth World Conference on Women in 1995, which continues to serve as the most comprehensive
global blueprint for advancing women’s rights. the session provided a vital opportunity to reflect on the gains made over three decades, recommit to unfulfilled promises, and set a
bold course toward achieving gender equality by 2030.
The convergence of CSW69 and Beijing+30 represents a defining moment in the global gender equality agenda. It offers a strategic opportunity for
governments, UN entities, civil society, and the private sector to assess achievements, confront persistent gaps, and renew commitments to gender justice, equity, and inclusion. The
outcomes of CSW69 will shape the direction of global gender equality efforts over the remaining five years of the 2030 Agenda and beyond. The results of CSW69 and Beijing+30 have
generated significant momentum, calling for effective communication strategies to sustain engagement, deepen public awareness, and amplify national and global commitments. A dynamic
post-CSW69 communications campaign is essential to translate global dialogue into public consciousness, policy actions, and community-level impact.
At CSW69, UNDP played a key role in supporting countries, including Nigeria, to engage meaningfully in the global dialogue, share best practices,
and commit to bold, evidence-based actions to dismantle structural barriers to equality. UNDP’s contributions to CSW69 align with its mandate to support inclusive governance,
poverty eradication, institutional reform, and sustainable development, all through a gender lens.
