The Canadian Federation of Business and Professional Women (BPW Canada) is proud to hold ECOSOC Consultative Status with the United Nations, granted in 2021. This accreditation allows BPW Canada to actively participate in the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) each March in New York, contributing to global discussions on gender equity and the advancement of women.
Each year, BPW Canada may send up to 20 official delegates to CSW, where they attend UN sessions, engage in civil society forums, and take part in advocacy and policy discussions. This opportunity empowers BPW members to bring Canadian perspectives to global challenges and return home with insights to support local action.
BPW Canada’s involvement in CSW strengthens our mission to advocate for a more just and equitable world. Through our participation in this international platform, we ensure that Canadian women’s voices are heard, and that our national advocacy aligns with global goals—including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Beijing Platform for Action.
If you are interested in joining the delegation for CSW70 or supporting our UNCSW initiatives, stay tuned for our Call for Delegates in October 2025 or contact our Vice President UNCSW at [email protected].
Together, we move from global dialogue to local action—empowering women at all levels.
