CSW 2011 – Get Ready!

By Samantha Singson | February 2, 2011

Commission season is underway at the UN and eager participants are making plans for the Commission on the Status of Women scheduled to start later this month.

Thousands of radical feminists are expected to attend the annual con-fab. Apart from the governmental proceedings, many NGOs will be hosting their own panels to highlight their pet issues.

The CSW NGO committee, the body responsible for coordinating the dozens of these NGO panel presentations, has just released the list of approved panel sessions for 2011.

Some of the approved sessions include:

“Pink Smoke Over the Vatican: Ordination and women’s welfare worldwide” by St. Joan’s International Alliance

“Using the Yogyakarta Principles for lesbian, bisexual, and transgender human rights” by the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission

“Sexuality, homophobia and transphobia the need to improve access to education and work” by the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)
