CSW 69 & Beijing +30: A Call to Resist, Reclaim, and Rise
The 69th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW 69) and the Beijing +30 Review mark a critical moment to reaffirm global commitments to gender equality. As gender rights face increasing threats—undermining reproductive rights, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) principles, and feminist movements—Women in Global Health is taking a stand.
Women Under Fire: Advancing Gender Equality
Women are facing growing challenges in conflict zones, workplaces, and health systems. Policies like the Global Gag Rule, shrinking funding for feminist movements, and the rise of harmful ideologies are reversing hard-won progress. We will not stand by as these rights erode. Now is the time to demand accountability, reject exclusion, and advocate for inclusive systems that uphold gender equity.
Our Call to Action
Resist the Rollback – Urge governments to uphold commitments, counter misinformation, and ensure accountability.
Reclaim Leadership – Provide frontline workers and advocates with the resources, data, and political space to lead change.
Rise with Long-Term Investment – Encourage governments, donors, and financial institutions to invest in gender-responsive, inclusive health systems.
