You are Invited to Attend NGO-CSW Virtually

YWCA USA invites all volunteers and team members to attend NGO-CSW virtually. The NGO CSW Forum is organized by and for global civil society, non-governmental organizations, and feminists to connect them with the official United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (UNCSW) process. With over 750 events, the NGO CSW Forum informs, engages, and inspires grassroots efforts and gender equality advocacy around the world. While the NGO CSW Forum runs parallel to and complements the UN CSW, it is a separate process with separate organizers of which attendees will attend on behalf of YWCA USA virtually.

Workshops take will place from March 9, 2026- March 20, 2026, from 8AM - 7PM ET. While we understand that you will not be able to attend every workshop, our expectation is:

1- Attend as many virtual workshops as your schedule permits
2- Abide by NGO-CSW policies and procedures
3- Participate in a post-attendee survey

NGO-CSW will conduct their registration in February 2026. This survey is to capture interest of YWCA USA network staff to attend NGO-CSW as a virtual-only participant. By completing this form, you'll receive follow-up from YWCA USA, including a reminder to formally register once registration has opened.

Deadline to register: February 2, 2026.
