Topic: WOmen in the Workforce

The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) is the primary intergovernmental organization that promotes and prioritizes women’s equality, rights, and empowerment. This committee will primarily focus on the CSW’s work to increase women’s labor force participation and involvement in the economy, addressing closely related topics like the informal labor sector, women in leadership, girls’ education, and the prevention of child marriages. Further, this committee will cover the CSW’s efforts to increase women’s financial literacy, access to credit and microfinancing, and supportive workplace policies. Essentially, this committee aims to highlight the work of the CSW and its efforts to reduce gender inequality by breaking down systemic barriers and fostering inclusive, equitable economies for women globally.
