Reflection on the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) 70

By The Rev. Annalise Pasalo


This month, I participated in the 70th session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW). This two week session at UN headquarters in New York focuses on Sustainable Development Goal #5, gender equality. It is my 8th time participating in CSW, my fourth in-person. I attended my first CSW session in 2018 as a delegate on the Presiding Bishop's Delegation. In the years following, I participated as part of the leadership team for the Presiding Bishop's Delegation. The Episcopal Church is no longer sending an official delegation, so this year I attended as the provincial link representing The Episcopal Church with the International Anglican Women’s Network. I was partially funded by a continuing education grant from the Commission on Ministry and want to thank them for their support. ​ READ MORE
