The United Nations will celebrate the 57th Session of the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on 4-15 March 2013 in New York.
CSW is the principal UN global policy-making body dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women. The priority theme will be: "Elimination and prevention of all forms of violence against women and girls".
