The voice of women workers at the UN

Union women from around the world are gathering in New York for the United Nations’ 57th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (UN CSW57), starting on 4th March 2013.

The theme for this session is: the Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls. 

A trade union delegation of some 80 sisters -and brothers - will be attending from EI, PSI, ITUC and UNI and will call on all member states to take all necessary measures to immediately and without further delay prevent and remedy violence against women and girls. We will work actively with the thousands of civil society representatives who will be present at UNCSW57.
