Dr. Catherine Bosshart, January 15, 2022
As I am sure you have all heard by now, the Commission on the Status of Women 66 is taking place in hybrid format resp. mainly virtually. Even the access of our UN representatives to the UN in New York has been reduced to 3 at the moment, where it is normally 7 (including International President and UN Vice President) representatives can work. However, this is only the case in New York. In Geneva and Vienna we are represented with our normal numbers. No workshops organized by the member states (side events) will take place within the UN premises.
We will be able to organize so-called parallel workshops virtually. At the moment BPW International has registered 2 themes, as well as the Federation of the USA and Carol Hanlon, who always excels in business incubators and webinars. The two BPW International events have been accepted and will take place on the following dates:
- Economic Empowerment of Women through Public Procurement and Financial Inclusion - DATE & TIME: 3/16/22 4:00 PM
- Women's Innovative Responses to Climate Change - DATE & TIME: 3/18/22 4:00 PM EST
All BPW events will be summarised in the NGO CSW New York handbook.

The Commission on the Status of Women CSW 66 will take place virtually from March 14 to 26, 2022.
Please register yourself, there are no restrictions. That is the positive effect of a virtual meeting.
Until December 12, 2021 you can apply for a side event. The topic has to be in line with the priority or the review theme. Should you also work with another women's organization, plan a side event together and hand it in under both names. In any case, please inform the President’s Office, when you can successfully register a side event and let us know the date and the time. We will publish our events in the add of the handbook of NGO CSW New York and create a visual presence of BPW. Thank you very much.

The Bureau of the Commission plays a crucial role in facilitating the preparation for, and in ensuring the successful outcome of the annual sessions of the Commission. Bureau members serve for two years. In 2002, in order to improve its work and ensure continuity, the Commission decided to hold the first meeting of its subsequent session, immediately following the closure of the regular session, for the sole purpose of electing the new Chairperson and other members of the Bureau (ECOSOC decision 2002/234).
The Bureau for the 66th session (2022) of the Commission on the Status of Women comprises the following members:
- H.E. Ms. Mathu Joyini (South Africa), Chair (African States Group)
- Ms. Pilar Eugenio (Argentina), Vice-Chair (Latin American and Caribbean States Group)
- H.E. Mr. Günter Sautter (Germany), Vice-Chair (Western European and Other States Group)

Written Statement for the Commission on the Status of Women
66
by the International Federation of Business and Professional Women, a non-governmental organization in consultative status with the Economic and Social Council
We strongly advise the Bureau that experts and negotiators from agencies, ministries and civil society working on environment and climate change
are invited explicitly to join the CSW66 meetings to ensure horizontal coordination and capacity development on the topic. It is advisable that the Commission on the Status of Women develops a
communication strategy to ensure that findings and guidance from the Commission on the Status of Women reaches other United Nations mechanisms. More than ever, resilience building through mutual
support and solidarity, through strong prior networking and advanced investment of broad stakeholder platforms, is essential to face future challenges. Multilateralism and horizontal coordination
are crucial here. Women’s organizations that work with different ministries and agencies can be of assistance if timely involved and supported.
