So what is #CSW68? The 68th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW68), the UN’s largest annual gathering on gender equality and women’s empowerment, will take place this year from 11 - 22 March under the priority theme, “Accelerating the achievement of gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls by addressing poverty and strengthening institutions and financing with a gender perspective”.

During the week of #internationalwomensday2024 we need to highlight the exceptional and undervalued role of women in conflict and areas affected by climate change. Higher attention needed to growing inequalities.

At RBC PH&N IC we help forge an inclusive world by investing in women and accelerating their progress. After all, gender equality is one of the most effective ways to build healthier, more prosperous, and more inclusive communities. #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay

As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (BDPfA), it is important to remember that despite the progress made in gender equality, disparities still exist, presenting challenges and opportunities for further advancement. Governments and organizations should prioritize gender equality and take concrete and effective action to combat gender-based violence. Together, we can create a future where equality is a reality for all! #GenderEquality #BDPfA #EmpowerWomen"

Between 2015 & 2019, a third of countries were not making any progress on #GenderEquality across the #SDGs - some were even backsliding! With just 6 years left until 2030, will we let this trend continue? We must take urgent action for gender equality now! Source: 2022 SDG Gender Index
