As we wrap up this week of highlights from the Loretto/BVM Delegation to CSW68, we offer huge thanks to our intern, Leslie Baron (right) and guest speaker Kai Njeri (middle).
The 68th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (#CSW68) provided space for significant discussions on poverty reduction, institutional strengthening and the integration of gender perspectives into financial strategies. The session also highlighted the importance of recognizing women and girls as key agents in poverty reduction, supporting girls’ education and the necessity of global collaboration among governments, civil society and international organizations. In sum, CSW68 emphasized accelerating gender equality and stressed the importance of gender-responsive financing and women’s representation in decision-making across various sectors, including peace and security, climate action and digitalization.
Moving forward, we're happy to share that our CSW68 guest speaker, Kai Njeri, will represent the Loretto Community at the upcoming U.N. Civil Society Conference to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from May 9-11, 2024.
Please continue to follow Loretto at the UN on social media, and thank you again for your prayerful support as we break barriers and pave the way for a brighter, more equitable future for all!
