The United Nations Commission on the Status of Women stands as the principal global intergovernmental body dedicated to promoting gender equality and the empowerment of women. Through its annual sessions, the UNCSW brings together representatives from UN member states, civil society, and expert organizations to discuss progress, setbacks, and strategies for advancing women’s rights across the world.

​

The Commission is currently discussing the global impact of the overturning of Roe v. Wade and the future of women’s reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. The debate centers on the ripple effects of this landmark decision, examining how legal precedents in one nation can influence reproductive rights globally. Participants are assessing strategies to safeguard access to reproductive health services, promote informed choice, and protect bodily autonomy against a backdrop of evolving legal and cultural landscapes.
