54th United Nations Commission on the Status of Women: Beijing +15
Our Women Making a Difference project was invited to represent Welsh Non Governmental Organisations (NGOs) at the International Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) event at the UN in New York between 26 February and 3 March 2010.
CSW’s priority theme this year is the15 year Review of the Beijing Platform for Action. This was the set of agreements on 12 critical areas of women's equality agreed at the last Work Conference in Beijing in 1995. Paula Manley from the Women Making a Difference project spoke on 'Women in Power' and in particular the importance of increasing women's representation in decision making locally, nationally and internationally.
