The Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), established by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Resolution 11(II) of 21 June 1946. With gender-equality and advancement of women as its focus, CSW’s mandates include drafting recommendations and reports to the Council on promoting women’s rights, the monitoring of implementation of measure for the advancement of women and the identification of issues affecting gender equality. The CSW also reviews the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action.
