In 1947, soon after the founding of the United Nations, did The Commission on the Status of Women meet. In its early days, CSW was responsible for holding international conventions that challenged an era of discriminatory legislation and gave limelight to women’s global issues. In 1953, CSW proved its prosperity as the first international law instrument to recognize and protect the political rights of women; and the first international agreements on women’s rights in marriage were composed. CSW is a platform that strives to promote women’s rights, document women’s lives, and shape global standards. It invites government officials, policy makers, experts, civil society representatives, and feminists to participate in the fight to continue the safety and well-being of women world-wide.
