Introduction to NCWC

INTRODUCTION: The National Council of Women of Canada (NCWC) is an accredited NGO (Non Government Organization) with the United Nations. The NCWC has a long history of working internationally. NCWC has been a member of the International Council of Women (ICW) since 1897, and has consultative status at the United Nations, Category II. Each year we send a delegation to the meetings of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York in March.

Resolutions from the CSW

I understand there are 6 Resolutions coming from this CSW. As well as the Outcome Document, or Agreed Conclusions, the CSW normally votes on resolutions that are on current subjects of interest to the NGOs. This is the list of topics that saw:

Maternal Mortality, 
Women taken Hostages, 
Women/Girls HIV/AIDS, 
Gender and Natural Disasters,
Indigenous Women,
Procedural Resolution on Female Genital Mutilation and Cutting.
