As many of you have likely already heard, the UN Commission on the Status of Women successfully reached agreed conclusions at the end of last week. The final document will soon be available for all to read, but for now, here is a link to UN Women's reporting on the subject.
In other news, Michelle Bachelet, the Executive Director of UN Women, announced in her closing statement to the Commission that she will be stepping down from this position in order to return to her home country of Chile. Read her full closing statement here.
Thank you to all those who contributed to this blog over the course of UN CSW57 and to those who have followed our journey over these past few weeks. In the coming weeks, there will be more reflections from delegates on their time at CSW which we will share on the blog. In addition, I hope to have some special contributions from other IAWN partners across Canada about their work and concerns in women's empowerment. If you have a story or reflection about your own work in this area which you would like to share with the wider Church, please contact me by email.
Peace,
Caitlin Reilley Beck
