NGO Consultation Day

This is always an excellent day - good to hear the issues reviewed from different perspectives, and to meet many amazing women.

NGO Consultation Day will be held on Sunday, 26 February from 9:00 am to 5:15 pm at the Salvation Army (120 West 14th Street, New York, NY). The purpose of NGO Consultation Day is to prepare participants for the UN Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) meetings (27 February to 9 March). The draft program for the NGO Consultation Day includes a Welcome by Michele Bachelet, Executive Director of UN Women (invited), a keynote address by the NGO/CSW/NY Woman of Distinction awardee, dialogue between the UN, governments and NGOs, as well as advocacy training and orientation for new participants to the CSW.


The fee for the day (includes lunch) is $80 per person. Space is very limited and registration is accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The working language is English.


The NGO Consultation Day registration deadline is 25 November 2011.
