The 2012 Commission on the Status of Women

Mark Koenig

The 56th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women begins on Monday, February 27.

Presbyterian and other participants will arrive in New York over the next few days. The Presbyterian Orientation will take place on Friday, February 24. We will join our partners at the Ecumenical Women's Orientation on Saturday, February 25.

There are a number of places to follow the events - including this blog. Watch the plenary sessions of the Commission on UN Webcast.

Other sources of information include:

• The Ecumenical Women Web page
• Presbyterian United Nations Ministry Facebook page
• Presbyerian Women Facebook page
• Ecumenical Women Facebook page
• Commission on the Status of Women Facebook page
• On Twitter, hashtags will be:  #CSW56 and #EWCSW
• Twitter accounts to follow include: @PresbyUN and @EcumenicalWomen

Additional sources of information will be shared as we learn about them.

Please hold in prayer: those who serve on the Commission (45 United Nations Member States), those in the NGO community, including the Presbyterians, who come to the Commission to advocate (based on PC(USA) General Assembly policy in the case of Presbyterians), and all who work for women's rights.
