CSW is the UN’s primary platform dedicated to advancing gender equality and women’s rights worldwide. Debates center on social, political, and economic barriers faced by women and girls, as well as the policies and cultural changes needed to break them down. Topics range from gender-based violence and economic empowerment to political participation, education, health, and representation.

Because these issues are deeply tied to cultural norms, legal frameworks, and development disparities, CSW brings together passionate debate, heavy advocacy, and practical policymaking. Delegates must balance sensitivity, evidence-based analysis, and diplomatic tact, all while pushing for ambitious and transformative solutions.

Committee Dynamics & Expectations

CSW debates require strong understanding of gender policy, development, and human rights. Delegates should expect emotionally charged discussions, ideological clashes, and persistent negotiations over language — especially around definitions and rights-related terms.

You’ll be expected to:

• Ground arguments in data, case studies, and international frameworks on gender equality.
• Approach sensitive cultural and social issues with respect while advocating for progress.
• Work through regional and ideological divides, especially around reproductive rights, education, and gender norms.
• Draft solutions that emphasize empowerment, protection, capacity-building, and long-term systemic change.

Expect active coalition-building, carefully crafted wording, and a forward-looking focus on women’s rights and gender justice.

Key Features:

1. Focus on rights, empowerment, and dismantling structural gender inequalities.
2. Debates shaped by cultural, regional, and ideological divides over social norms.
3. Heavy emphasis on data-driven policy, education, legal reform, and community-level solutions.
4. Careful negotiation of sensitive language related to gender, rights, and protection.
5. Resolutions that set global priorities for gender equality and guide UN and state-level action.
