CSW 69

News from RENATE - RENATE at CSW69 – A Landmark Year for Women’s Rights

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Platform for Action, a key milestone in the global movement for gender equality. The 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW69) took place in New York from 10–21 March 2025, bringing together governments, NGOs, and advocates worldwide to discuss progress and challenges in advancing women’s rights.

As part of CSW69’s parallel events hosted by NGOs, RENATE was proud to hold an online webinar on 20 March 2025 at 17:30 (UK time). This event explored insights from last year's Law research and findings, the use of film as a tool for advocacy and awareness raising purposes, and the online launch of our Shelters and Safe Houses booklet. 

All details can be seen below and shared widely.
