CSW69 Update
“During the session, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres emphasized that the world is facing serious challenges and that gender equality should be at the forefront of global priorities, not pushed to the margins. He highlighted the connection between the CSW, the 30th Anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and the Pact for the Future, stating that all of these initiatives are interconnected through the theme of gender equality. Guterres also emphasized the crucial role of civil society, stating, ‘Civil society is on the front line in building a better life for all.’ This aligns with Zonta International’s commitment to advancing these goals.“
