Why CSW Matters to BPW
The Commission on the Status of Women provides an important opportunity for BPW members to engage in international discussions on gender equality and bring the perspectives of business and professional women to the global conversation.
The issues addressed at CSW also connect directly with BPW’s advocacy for women’s economic empowerment, leadership and equality, linking international commitments with advocacy taking place in Canada and in communities around the world.
