The 69th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) took place at United Nations Headquarters in New York from 10 to 21 March 2025. 30 years after the Beijing Platform for Action, gender justice remains under threat, but feminist resistance continues. DAWN hosted two parallel events and co-sponsored other panels and a rally, bringing global South perspectives to key debates on health justice, feminist economics, and labour rights, advancing transformative solutions for a just future.
