NGO Briefing - Friday morning

Soon-Young Yoon, Chair of the CSW NGO Committee


The NGO Briefing happens daily, and is a good source of information - today it was announced there are 1,824 representatives at this CSW, representing 398 organizations.

The Regional Caucuses are meeting tomorrow with UN Women, and after the NGO briefing, the North America/Europe caucus met to discuss the issues we will be raising. There will be 10 (now 11) in the caucus, and I will be one of the 2 from Canada. Andre Cote is the other Canadian. It will be an interesting meeting - to look at how UN Women can engage with civil society.
