UN Women will continue to promote the systematic and sustainable participation of girls and young people in intergovernmental processes. It will convene the annual youth-led CSW Youth Forum with support from UN Women as a key event to engage young people on the Commission. The forum will be held on March 15 at the United Nations Secretariat in New York, and the opening ceremony will be held at the United Nations International School for two days from March 16 to 17, 2024.
The forum will provide a dynamic and interactive space that will enable young participants to engage directly with policymakers, articulate their ideas and highlight their priorities, particularly in terms of ways to ensure accountability.
Goals of the Youth Forum:
- Developing knowledge through a variety of interactive sessions, panel discussions and workshops, participants critically examine the impact of the current socioeconomic crisis on women and girls and work to develop a set of recommendations to strengthen accountability mechanisms.
- Activate leadership by supporting participants in articulating specific requirements for institutional transformation and finalizing a declaration of commitment to advocate for gender-responsive reform in public institutions.
- Build networks and alliances to strengthen partnerships among young people and focus on addressing challenges related to gender, age and poverty.
- Global Youth and Adolescent Advice, Future Summit and Strategic Planning for Beijing+30.
