Welcome to the UN CSW

Despite massive snow fall across the eastern seaboard, all 12 Episcopal Young Adult Delegates have safely arrived in New York City for the 54th United Nations Commission on the Status of women. Joining with over 8,000 other registered NGO representatives, these young adults are setting out on a journey of exploration, expansion, and advocacy. They will have the opportunity to engage with delegates from around the world, including NGO representatives from Geneva, people of Faith from Zimbabwe, and state representatives from member states across the globe. We invite you to share in the journey with us, as people of faith working for a more just world.

Everyday 3 or 4 of our delegates will post their feelings and experiences. We invite you to leave a comment, ask a question, or simply lift them up in prayer. Your engagement is essential as these young people engage on your behalf and explore how and why it is that we as Christians are called to engage the world in questions of equity, justice, and peace.
